The concept is really interesting, but I wish there had more of a focus on why the boys were in the Walk. It felt a bit lazy for most of the boys to just be like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a love/hate relationship with Stephen King books. He can make walking entertaining but he also writes the same types of characters in every book I’ve read of his.

I love playing battle royales so i found the main plot appealing, the random sexualization of characters, most of them minors made it kinda hard to enjoy at times though. and the ending was... um...

I was disappointed by this book from the get-go. Stephen King didn't even give me a chance to form a positive first impression before Garraty notices that his mom's “breasts were almost nonexistent: token nubs.” There is absolutely no reason that had to be included. What did that add to the plot 💀 I kept reading because I was intrigued by the premise. It kept me hooked but I also kept waiting for more world-building and by the end I was sorely disappointed. This is a dystopia so I would've loved more details of how The Long Walk came to be. I do get why King didn't describe more of past winners even though I kind of wanted that information.

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)
