For those of you who've read "The Stand" what are your thoughts?

I just finished reading it a few days ago. The last few Summers I decided to read a classic:

2005: Atlas Shrugged
2006: Les Miserables
2007: The Stand....although I know a lot of people wouldn't recognize it as a classic, I figured what the heck.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the book. King's post-apocalyptic vision is intriguing...but when all was said and done after reading 1,141 pages..it just felt like something was still missing...if that's possible.

Just in case it's not a "classic",,,I'm now reading "To Kill A Mockingbird". I haven't read it since the 11th grade.
