De beproeving is een episch horrorverhaal van de hand van de Amerikaanse auteur Stephen King. Het boek werd in 1978 onder de titel The Stand door uitgever Doubleday in de Verenigde Staten uitgebracht en verscheen zes jaar later voor het eerst in Nederlandse vertaling. Het verhaal, dat in 1994 door Mick Garris werd verfilmd, wordt door King-fans tot zijn beste verhalen gerekend.

Awesome book about near extinction and the forces of good and evil.

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.
