The plot became redundant to an exhaustive degree. How many times can you describe the exact same thing? Garraty's feet hurt, he struggles for a moment, gets a couple of warnings, and then comes to his senses (with the help of McVries). I feel like the message would. have been just as successful if this was a short story instead. I also didn't get the point of the quotes that began each chapter. They were just so random.
I loved McVries (and Garraty wanted him sooooo bad)

This put so many things into perspective for me. When I say this has scarred me for life, it definitely has. There are so many conversations about life, death, why do we put ourselves into certain (especially hellish) situations, and more. His writing is painfully real. Along with the aches, I truly felt the anxiety, fear, and mental anguish through it. You also felt like you were on this journey with the boys and gotten to know them… which made this even sadder. I know that this story is going to stick with me for a long time.
Now, I wish I could’ve given this a 5-star rating, but there were a few racist/offensive things said in here and it was… a lot, lmao. Moving on though, what stuck out to me the most is that there is no REAL winner of The Long Walk. You essentially die before you even make it to the finish line. Either you’re met with a tragic end along the way, or you’re forever trapped in a psychological prison of torment, trauma, and overwhelming grief if you do win. Which, in all truthfulness, is a lose-lose.
