Although I understand the reason for not printing this anymore, I am sad. The Long Walk is my all time favorite Stephen King work. My copy of this book was read so often, it literally fell apart. I would love to read The Long Walk again, and my son who at 14 has also become a fan would love to read it too,

I personally believe that The Long Walk is the best King book. I also believe that Rage should be printed BECAUSE, no matter what people say, you can control what influences you, and you can't sit and tell me that a book influenced school shootings. The kids KNEW what they were doing, so no long publishing it is ridiculous! And I'm sure I'm not the only person thinking this.

I finished reading the Bachman books not long ago, it's a good collection not his best but not his worst. I have posted a comment on each of the storie pages including rage, saying I thing that it should be remained banned.

I can't tell you how long I had this book before I picked it up to read it. I did just this year and was hooked with RAGE. The LongWalk honestly disturbed me the most and it has been months now I can't shake certain feelings it gave me. ROADWORK --- so current even though it was written so long ago. And I can see the RUNNINGMAN on t.v in the future with the way reality t.v exploits the worst in us. However, in this case who wouldn't have went on with a sick baby. Kindles Suck -- go old school and buy books.
