I haven't quite made up my mind about Stephen King. Part of me is repelled by his trendiness; that part also recognizes an author with flaws of dialogue and resolution and an author who needs to better listen to his editor (or find a new editor). And yet the guy can craft a really riveting, well-tol...
So many questions, so few answers! It did a great job of pulling you in and at times you could actually feel like you were walking with them, feeling their pain. I can't believe that it's possible though... could you actually walk like that, for five days, and still be alive at the end? I just reall...
My very first Richard Bachman book. For those who don't know, Richard Bachman is a pseudonym for Stephen King, but I see them as two different persons after reading "The importance of being Bachman" !Anyway, my father is a huge fan of his books and I had to start reading them to see what was so grea...
The Long Walk is a re-read for me that I picked back up for Book #7 of the Stephen King Challenge. It is also one of the original stories that King wrote as Richard Bachman. I found it funny in the prologue section entitled The Importance of Being Bachman, King writes that he used his secret alias f...
Right now I'm having mixed feelings about this book. I like the premise and the characters and I did enjoy the story but while they kept walking and walking, I kept waiting and waiting for all these questions in my head to get answered and they really never did. I just personally don't care for ambi...
Synopsis: Ray Garraty--along with 99 other teen boys--has entered the Long Walk, a grueling march at four miles per hour that continues until only one person is standing. The losers receive bullets to the head. As the march progresses, the numbers dwindle, the challenges of continued marching increa...
I remember reading this in my teens and being completely captivated by it. I was sucked in to this world as I walked along with these boys. It was my first realisation that an author can go anywhere in time and space, have the power to kill or save a character. And that not every ending has to be...
La larga Marcha reseña en español ----> Click aquíA great and brutal novel written by Stephen King's dark half. This story is setted in a future where a TV show called "The Long Walk" is the main attraction: a show where 100 teenage boys have to walk endlessly until only one left standing, if they...
Richard Bachman is a pseudonym used by Stephen King for his early works. Dystopian novels are very popular these days. When people talk about the Hunger Games, they say it's like Battle Royale. If they know a bit more about the Dystopian genre, it's only a matter of time before the talk comes to ...
From Goodreads: On the first day of May, 100 teenage boys meet for a race known as "The Long Walk". If you break the rules, you get three warnings. If you exceed your limit, what happens is absolutely terrifying... I first read this when I was in high school. I'm fairly certain I bought it on a f...
