I'm getting into this book. Fast.
After finishing up the Dark Tower, I wanted to delve into one of King's stand-alone novels. I think I may have picked up just the right one.
Initially, I asked for it for Christmas because Lindelof and Cuse of Lost fame said they refer to the Stand while writing Lost scripts. I thought this was a peculiar thing to say, but it's only until after you actually read it (haha) or are reading it that you understand what they mean.
Now, that I'm reading it I'm slowly becoming addicted. The characters are so vivid, the situation scarily real, and the fantasy makes it all the more entertaining. It's cool to see the references to the Dark Tower now, too, with Randall Flagg being a part of the downfall of the world.
I am only so far, though. Things have just begun to go awry... Oh, man is it good.
Anyway, the one thing I did want to discuss was the different editions of the book. I'm reading the uncut version where there is evidently a different beginning and end. Without ruining anything can you tell me where these differences are? Maybe you can tell me about the differences in the beginning and leave the difference in the end for when I'm actuall finished it...
Let me know if anyone's read this.
