A review by bookaroundandfindout
The Long Walk by Stephen King, Richard Bachman

5.0

This was my first full read if a Stephen king book and since it was written under his Alia’s, Richard Bachman, there was definitely a different vibe to it. In the introduction, King talks about how Bachman is a representation of him that is more cruel and horrific in other ways than his typical books. I agree with it the whole novel gave me the creeps. It’s like reading The Giver only the dystopic terror is amplified ten-fold. It truly felt like a long walk to even finish this book but I would recommend this as a good read to escape- it definitely gives you that.
