it was amazing

The Long Walk is simply exhausting to read. I found myself keep drifting in and out of sleep, needing to eat, drink, and use the bathroom. But most of all, my feet ached a little more after each page. This is not because the book was bad and that I was losing attention, it was simply because I was so involved in the story. I was walking WITH them.The premise is simple and I'm sure if you're reading this review you're aware of what its about. The fact that the story is so simple, allows for it to become deeper on so many different levels.

At the end of the book I found myself questioning everything, not because the ending left me unfulfilled but because it made me realise so much about life.

The Long Walk is depressing, exhausting and brutal. But ultimately it is a beautiful story that makes you aware how great it is to be alive.

At this time of writing this review (1st August 2007), the rights to making a film have been bought by Frank Darabont, director of the Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. I read The Long Walk as part of the Richard Bachman compilation of 4 novels, Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork and The Running Man.

Emma Audsley I completely agree, I feel knackered just reading it!


Mandi Moore Beautiful review, and it describes exactly how this book makes me feel each time I read it.


Braxton Exhausting is the perfect way to describe this book. I read it in one sitting. I physically could not stop reading, much like the characters could not stop walking.


Kasey Agree with all the above- this story grabs you and doesn't let go- it even haunts you after the fact! Love love love this book!


message 5: by Michelle (new) - added it

Michelle Exactly!
Zzzzzzz... But waking up wanting to read more.


Ally I love reading a review that makes me relive how I felt the first time I finished it. Thanks!


Angel Daniel same


Hailey Abel well said. I felt the same!


Alexandra You couldn't explain it better! While I was reading I've felt that It was me the one who was walking and not him...
