About this listen
In the near future, where America has become a police state, 100 boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
The game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings and you're out - permanently.

Perfectly unsettling
I adored how the voice actor portrayed the characters, bringing them to life in such an eerie distinct way. King did a great job at keeping the book both lighthearted and soul crushing. 10/10 sucker for these battle royale/last man standing type genres.
Also very unsettling listening to this while in the treadmill working out.

A brilliant dystopian story
My favourite book of all time. Unsettling, brutal, poignant, amusing and disturbing all at the same time.
I have read this many times but it always triggers the same emotions, every time.
A masterpiece.

Mostly Great, but inconclusive ending
Great story, Great narration, ending was a bit dull though.
Apparently I need more words to complete the review.

The Long walk
the first half of the book, it was hard to stay interested. the second half was an intensive ride of emotions.

Enjoyed it but…
On the whole I enjoyed the book. It’s a really interesting premise and goes from absolute horror - to funny - to absolutely gut wrenching. It’s well written (of course) but the ending left me unsatisfied. A lot of the surrounding detail is left for the reader to assume - I would have liked some further detail. The narration was excellent and I couldn’t put it down.

A Massive King fan's review
I did have fun with this book, but it wasn't as incredible as some of the other King books. I found it worth the price of addmission for the foreword about writing as Bachman which added to my King knowledge. I don't think this novel is anything special but it is enjoyable.
