  • The Long Walk: simple premise executed brilliantly. Seriously underrated as far as King stories go.
  • Roadwork: not bad. Some interesting stuff about capitalism, but if any other writer's name had been on it I probably never would have picked it up.
  • The Running Man: fast-paced, but that's about all it has going for it. A miserable story with a miserable protagonist that you simply cannot sympathise with.
