This book is knocking me on my arse! It is twisted! I can't even fathom what it's like for a teenage boy, let alone one that has to do this! Good Job Richard via Stephen! I am half way through and it's freaking me out! I read The shining when I was 11 and was scared out of my head! I am still nervous around closed shower curtains! Now that I am older... these mind twisters are AWESOME!!!!

Reading this was excruciating. Brilliant, but hard to swallow. It also reminded me slightly of the Hunger Games, but this is much more a psychological book. Actually, it reminded me of The Stand (even though it's been ages since I last it), for the way it really gets into the crass and hilarious ruminations of boys. My husband actually made an interesting observation, about how this book makes an interesting commentary on why young men in America volunteer to go to war... Great book. Now have morbid thoughts.

Right when I heard of this book, I knew I must have it!! So along with 7 other Stephen King/Richard Bachman titles I have recieved for Christmas, the Long Walk was one of them. It reminded me of the Hunger Games, I dont know why, but it did...... My family thinks I am crazy for being a 15 year old girl who loves Stephen King, but they don't mind as long as I don't recreate the horror. Can't wait to read it!!!!!

I thought this book, The Long Walk was one of his best. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I tell everyone about The Long Walk. Do you know how hard it is to maintain four miles per hour? Love it.
