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

4.0

A really good character study with a horror veneer. This book is definitely one of the more approachable of King’s works. A group of boys enter a competition to walk without stopping for as long as they can. If they try to run or if they slow down or stop a certain number of times they will be shot. The longer they walk, the more they realize what they have agreed to; as more of them die the more the horror of their situation sets in. I really liked it. It was a super easy read, with very heartbreaking moments and a slow decline into madness.
