Not sure how this book is considered to be on a similar level as The Stand. The characters are much less believable - most of them horribly developed, or a child's idea of what each archetype would be like in such a situation. The dialogue also has so many grating / cringey moments so far as well. Going to finish at this point, but although I love a good pulpy apocalypse thriller this just doesn't seem like the one.
