malpal9's review against another edition

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.5

2/3 was “my feet hurt” - albeit I still could not put it down, 1/3 was super juicy. The conversations between the walkers was really the highlight for me. Would love a whole other novel prequel to build this world!!!!

Edit: changing my rating from 4 to 4.5, I cannot stop thinking about this book

I have a love/hate relationship with Stephen King books. He can make walking entertaining but he also writes the same types of characters in every book I’ve read of his.

There was no reason for this audiobook to be almost 11 hours long. I thought, surely the whole book cannot be just the long walk but it is. 

Buckle up for a lot of teenage boy inner dialogue that is somehow both overly horny and very contemplative, kids getting

violently shot and killed when they stop walking for over two minutes

and Kings classic over descriptions. 

Also, the ending is classic King, and is annoyingly infuriating. If you are looking to read a King novel, look at almost any other book. It is well written, and you do get attached to the characters but that almost makes the book harder to read.
