A review by aslowreader
The Running Man by Stephen King, Richard Bachman

4.0

wow, this book is awesome! very exciting and honestly not really like anything else i've read by king thus far. right from the jump, i was invested in the characters and the situations all seemed horribly believable. the main character is just unlikable enough to be interesting, but smart and funny enough to root for him any way. this has battle royale/hunger games vibes, for sure, which is probably why i enjoyed it so much. and - AMAZINGLY - the ending doesn't ruin the book! what a story!!
