“this book is about a national event that is played every year. In this event, you have to walk. There are limitations though: you have to walk at least 4 mph, you cannot stop, but you have 3 warnings. The 3 warnings are the 3 times you are allowed to not follow the rules. This event is a lil different than most though. You dont get a fourth warning, the forth warning is a shot to the head... This book is good but there is a LOT of swearing like WOWZERS! there is swearing like every other word. ”

“Sheer madness from the core of the psyche. The greatest monsters and demons of our world are ourselves; chillingly illustrated in "The Long Walk." Superbly written in grand Stephen King style. ”

“my editors pick of stephen king. wrote it when he was 19 and to me his most memorable. it basically spans the endurance and coming of age of a slew of teenagers who struggle to grasp some sort of identity or redemption before they all die in a futuristic game show.”
