I love 5, probably my third favourite behind 4 and 2. I do think 6 and 7 are quite a bit worse though.

I think of all the "mia" stuff was greatly shortened 6 and 7 would be a LOT better. Jake/eddie/roland/oys storyline stay really interesting all the way through, but the Mia stuff is just a slog imo.
Oh man, i was just pumped to try to figure out what was up with the riders.
I think 6 and 7 move too quickly and probably needed a little more time in the oven to let ideas marinate and then edit into something a bit better. King's date with that van had him clickety clacking at his keyboard at a blazing pace, and I can appreciate an author with a sense of his own mortality and wanting to finish your damn series but I'd have loved just a little extra.
It all felt like a natural progression to the meta shit to me, and I loved that aspect of Wolves.
I agree with this.
Coming up on page 800 of The Stand and it's really not grabbing me super hard. The first book was pretty cool with how the virus gets out and how the transmission worldwide is presented, but this stuff with the 2 settlements is just dragging, and I'm not really fond of any of the characters, which for a King book, is a surefire way to bore me. The circumstances of the novel have been the same for like 400 pages. It's no longer new or special so all this time spent in Boulder setting up the politics and governing body etc is just hard to get into. I'm hoping there's something that happens in the confrontation/conclusion that I take to. I'm wondering if I'd actually like the abridged version more purely from a pacing standpoint.
