Review-A-Day

"The Long Walk is the work of an angry, impulsively fresh voice, and it's as real as it gets. Fans of Lord of the Flies, The Running Man, or more obscure titles like Battle Royale or Crimson Labyrinth will not be able to put it down. The debilitating suspense will leave you trying to catch your breath after every single page." David Hannon, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)

This book was excellent. The dialogue between the boys was masterful, in true Stephen King style. From the first page to the last, I was enthralled. It did suffer from a typical King ending -- leaving the reader wanting to know what happens next. But all in all, this one makes my list of books to be remembered.

The book started out exicting, then just went on and on about nothing. Ussually I like stephen King, but this book was dead. The end sucked too. Did Garraty win, or didn't he? After about the first 100 pages that's what kept me reading, to see who won. In the end, I thought he won, then no, then maybe he did. Did he just go insane...I WANT TO KNOW. Over all, the book was not what I thought it would be. It wasn't great like the other books by Stephen King were.
