I am re-reading The Stand by Stephen King, which has zillions of characters. He has a way of making them seem very real. In this book, the disaster scenes are what I like best. But there are at least 3 characters that I care about.
If an author can't make a reader care about their characters, then they have failed.
I am not a King fan, I just like this one book, because of the plot. I love post apocalyptic stories. I used to read James Axler's Deathlands books. I need to get back to them.
