I'm finally getting time to do my post over book two of The Stand. I'm glad King broke this story into different books because the tone of book two is very different from the first. Book one is all about the superflu, death, and mystery while book two is about Mother Abigail's group rebuilding society.
Harold's character was really intriguing to me because he's gone dark side but there are moments he doubts what he's doing. He seemed to be on the fence on whether he was going to join the dark man until Nadine comes into the picture. I wonder if Nadine had stayed away if Harold would've changed his mind about getting revenge.
While I should feel bad for Nadine but I don't. Leo (aka Joe) said it best. She waited til the last minute to go to Larry. While she is afraid of the dark man, she doesn't seem to be fighting her destiny. She just wants to blame what's happening to her on someone else.
I was really sad when Nick died in the explosion but I understand why King killed him. The men going forward to make the stand against the dark man have to prove themselves. Nick was the one that believed in Mother Abigail the most. The others doubt Mother Abigail's divine connection and need to go face the dark man.
I'm a few pages into book three. Part of me is excited to see what's next and another is scared to see who will survive. I'm really attached to Larry and Stu. I especially want Stu to return to Frannie and the baby.
