empathreads's review against another edition

The reason I couldn't finish the book "The Long Walk" by Stephen King is that I got bored halfway through. I found myself trying to convince myself numerous times to continue, but ultimately, I had to admit that it wasn't my cup of tea. The constant scenarios in the story seemed useless and didn't capture my attention. Additionally, I felt that the pacing of the narrative wasn't to my liking, making it challenging to maintain my interest in the book.

Horrifying in the way that the Hunger Games is horrifying, but probably not going to give anyone nightmares. Psychologically horrifying and very well written. Good for anyone interested in reading about the inherent horror of being a teenager/young adult. The characters feel authentic even when their motivations are unclear.

Instances of gore are very graphically described but there are only 2-3 occurrences in the whole book.

The book absolutely takes you for a ride in this dystopian world and concept. The first half of the book was a little slow but picks up a lot in the middle and towards the end. It was hard to see friends met along the way perish one by one and even harder when you realize the amount of traume these kids hve been through within the span of days. I honestly got a little annoyed by how horny on the main everyone was but they're also teenagers so there's that. This book is very bleak but very insightful, and definitely a good introduction to some of King's works. Also, I probably should've read this while doing cardio, for extra immersion lol
