The stand

Science Fiction, Novel by 斯蒂芬·金

Blurb

《末日逼近》是史蒂芬·金笔下一本有关末日的小说，最先在1978年出版经编辑删减超过400页的版本，原型来自他收录于《玉米田的孩子》中的一部短篇小说《夜浪》，翌年此书获得世界奇幻奖最佳小说的提名。1980年代，史蒂芬不甘当年的版本被大幅删减，因此重新编辑此书，并将故事设定为1990年，及加入当时的流行文化，又推出限量1250本的豪华版，附有史蒂芬·金和新版插画师伯尼·莱特森的签名。

This rating is for the "Complete and Uncut" (can we just start revering to these editions as the "Uncircumcised editions"?). I thought the book was a little too long, and showcased King's number one flaw: lingering on useless points for too long that end up not going anywhere. I actually managed to find a copy of the first original edition (only 800 pages!) at Powell's last year, so I'm going to read that one at the same time as the Uncircumcised edition and see how much is different.

I was very engaged for the first 2/3 of the story, but like most King books I've read, the main issue with this one is that it ends up dragging on far past the point where it should have ended and the ending was really weak anyway.
