The Stand cont.

Wow this book is intense! I can not put it down. Some of the characters are starting to come together but the problem is none of them trust eachother. I guess that’s what happens when the world ends.

Most of what I’ve read since my last blog is just about the individual characters getting everything together and deciding what they are going to do. This one guy, Stu, was orginally quarantined by the army because his town is where it all started and he was the only survivor. But then somehow the flu gets loose and all the nurses, doctors and army guys die so Stu escapes and decides to head east to the coast. Another couple, who are the only survivors in their town, hear about the army centre and head west in hope to find survivors from the centre. Stu and the couples paths cross.

I am still really curious about why they are all immune?! I do have one idea though. All survivors seem to be good natured, healthy people. One girl is even pregnant. Maybe that’s the connection. Only the fittest survive.
