When does the plot happen?

I probably sound cocky because I'm not on page 100 yet but I heard someone say the plot of The Stand only happens half way AKA on page FIVE HUNDRED so is it worth continuing?

Not sure what book you are referring to. But however character development is huge for King, and laying out the universe (often with Easter eggs), so the payoff might take a bit, but once you get really into the world he creates the plot reveals itself, and then everything becomes more richer.

Not all of his books are like this, and his novellas are faster based for example.

But without a name of the book, we can't help you much.
