The Long Walk

Rating:
Summary: Stephen King's Best Short Story
Review: This is by far my favorite Stephen King short story. Though not chalk-full of the horror element found in his other works, this novella hooks the reader by making you care about what happens to the characters. I especially liked the ending which had shades of Edgar Allen Poe's THE PIT AND THE PENDELLUM

Rating:
Summary: King pulls you in only to disappoint.
Review: The book begins slowly but soon, as with most King stories, you're hooked. You need to know why and how the boys came to walk the Long Walk. You're waiting for King to tell what really happens to the winner. But he doesn't. The book, like the walk, just ends. I've never been so disappointed in King's (or Bachman's) work.

Rating:
Summary: Overall, I liked it, but the ending neaded work.
Review: This book, was very well written especially for Stephens Kings writing capabilities. Although it was a thriller I wouldn't call it horror. It was another good look into Stephen King's mind. I would give the book 5 stars, however, the ending was a bit confusing, and it would be nice to know what happened to Garraty after he won.

Rating:
Summary: Not the best but good
Review: This book wasn't that interesting but somehow I just kept reading it. I think it was wondering what this race was all about that wouldn't let me put the book down. Although the ending was disapointing. It seemed rushed and didn't go in to detail that makes Stephen King different than other writers. Altogether it was a pretty good book.

Rating:
Summary: This book is about a group of 100 teenagers the winner lives
Review: I think this a well written detailed book. It had a great ending. I'd reccomend this book to almost anyone who loves horror stories.

Rating:
Summary: Would be a five, but...
Review: ...the ending was such a disappointment. It could have been much better

Rating:
Summary: Good read. Can get into your psyche!
Review: This was definately a good story. I wouldn't really consider myself an avid King fan, but I really did enjoy reading this book. The story was horrifying, and sometimes crept into my dreams, and left me with that stomach churning feeling of desperation that these characters went through. The ending was kind of a dissapointment because somethings were not explained enough, but otherwise, a good book

Rating:

Summary: I wished this "walk" had gone on and on!
Review: I have read most of Stephen King's books, but, The Long Walk kept me looking forward to my next chance to read more than any other! Some of his works are quite lengthy, at times making it difficult to "hold on" to the whole story. But with The Long Walk, I "kept pace" with the whole story...every step of the way!!
