As a Constant Reader, I was okay with the ending of The Stand. After all, the reason they went to LV was on Mother Abigail's word, and her word was from God. In the extended version, there is an addendum to the ending, showing evil never really dies.

I, too think The Stand is an excellent read. Especially, the revised version. I cannot count how many times I've read it. The most significant part is, this could really happen. And by that, I mean the catalyst that set the book on its journey. Do I wish he would revisit the characters? Some of them. Do I want to read about people who were not in Boulder or Los Vegas? Not really, unless the principal characters met them as we follow their journeys.
