dargent94 's review for:

The Bachman Books by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
4.0

I've done individual reviews for each of the stories in this collection so I'll just give them a little summary here:

The Long Walk: 5/5. Perfection. Poignant and frightening. One of his best.

Roadwork: 2/5. A bit of a misstep. Very few highlights and an unlikeable cast.

The Running Man: 4/5. A breakneck action story with a heavy emphasis on rushing headfirst towards a satisfying conclusion.

Overall: 4/5. Fantastic, then less so, then fantastic again. I'd call it a mixed bag but the quality dip isn't noticeable once you're past the middle novel.
