Half a star for the ending. It’s pretty clear King wrote this in 72 hours but what a cool concept and even better ending. As an anti authority guy, I love Richard’s although he certainly has his flaws. Like a lot of early King some stuff is too far. It’s no Long Walk but definitely one of the stronger Bachman books

read this after The Long Walk and this just doesn't have the same heart or care for it

Was this my favorite book? No
Would I read it a second time? Probably not
But the suspense is there and Stephen king’s writing style kept me going even when the story felt a bit boring. It want predictable and I like the direction it went in because the main character becoming a symbol for the people would have been weird tonally and the character winning would have seemed cliche.

I didn’t love or hate this book. It’s a little slow at parts for a short book, but it was enjoyable overall.
