oelia 's review for:

The Running Man by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
2.0
adventurous dark sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Worldbuilding sucks ass, protagonist is unbearable, plot points despite some suspenseful scenes are at times nonsensical and prose feels like a rough first draft even if you quote the same passage from Shakespeare twice. I liked the ending.
