Yeah, it's good. I've only read the uncut version (which is why I was asking him). I'm not exactly sure what he added, but it was like 400 pages (goes from 800 to 1200 in paperback at least) so I'm sure some parts I liked were "new".
Anyway, if you like/love post-apocolyptic scenarios and that kind of stuff (people trying to live and survive, create some sort of society) I'm guessing you'd like the Stand.
All the stuff dealing with the honchos in the Army Base was added, and The Wolfman (edit: or whatever he was called in the uncut, the guy in the car the crazy fire-luvin' guy traveled with), among other things.
I still have an old copy of the original published version of The Stand, which I'd read many times before the uncut version came out. I hesitated buying the uncut because I thought the original was a masterpiece already. When I saw the mini-series tho, I was like "what is all this stuff, that wasn't in the book" and finally went out and bought it. It does add to the story/chrs. a bit, but I still sorta prefer the original....it's "tighter". I tended to like King's books a bit more before he was allowed to just run on and on forever/do whatever he wants.
