Summary: I Got Tired reading this book....
Review: Boy, I guess i really got into the book, because I couldn't help feeling really really tired...I don't know, maybe it's just me. The book was very good, but I'm one of those that didn't like the ending very much. Maybe it's just too deep for me or something, but I would have liked a different ending.Sorry....

Summary: Great
Review: I will keep it short.Good book, it keeps your attention the whole time.But the ending really sucked. But don't buy the book like this go out and get the Backmen books (A story collection) at a used book place for a lot cheaper.Or go to the library.

Summary: What up with you people?
Review: Hey, this is a good book. I read it before I went on a 100 mile walk of my own, and hey, some of Garriety's ideas work! Not just that, the way it defines his thoughts, his slow departure into maddness, and his completley belivable feelings toward the walk and his friends with him. I know i felt in alot of ways just like he felt, but luckly i was not walking with a gun pointed to me head. Not kings best, but far from his worst, this book is good if you want something diffrent to read. oH YEAH, my take on the famous "ending", Get with it! Sure its complicated, but i read the second half of the book again, and I finally got it. Use a little brainpower. I wanted a better ending at first too, but then i realized that it's not about the crowd, the spectators, or the major, or the soliders pulling the strings. Not about Garrity's mom or girlfriend, or even the walkers theselves. Its about a very,very Long walk. Garriety walks from nearly the first page to the last. There was simply no other way to end it, with out selling out the entire story, and its meaning.

Summary: This one will NEVER be a Movie
Review: I've read all of King's published fiction, and this is one of his best - top 5 I'd say. A great premise that pulls you in slowly but surely until it's too late, you're hooked - trying to figure out what you'd do and why some characters lose it. With Gerald's Game, his only works that will never have a video version. period (Although I'd love to see Michelle Pfieffer play Jessie - or Michelle Williams for that matter, who cares she's not 39)

Summary: Loved it! My favorite King by a Mile!!!
Review: The Long Walk is the best King I've ever read. I think the morbid idea of a walk to the death fascinated me and kept reading to see who would go down next. Garraty is a terrific protagonist and the fact that he's "Maine's Own" adds to his likeability. I highly recommend this book and "Rage" also written by King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.

Summary: All I can say is WOW.
Review: This is by far the best Bachmann, or King book for that matter I've read yet! I read it in two days, I couldn't put it down! I love the whole government gone dictatorship sort of thing. As for the ending, try to use a little brainpower and figure it out for yourselves. If you liked this, read The RUnning Man and any of the other Bachmann books

Summary: A good summer read
Review: This book is a classic example of man vs himself. I really enjoyed the book, but at times it seemed a little repetitive, and the ending wasn't great. I really like King, but this one isn't his best. However, this book would be good to take on vacation or something like that to read in your spare time.

Summary: I loved it, but give us an ending!
Review: I loved this book. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I wasn't reading it, and when I was reading, I couldn't stop! The characters were so well developed and so human that I wanted to see several of them win the walk, not just one. I hated to see some of my favorite characters get their ticket. The only complaint I had with this story, like many others, was the ending. I wanted a more complete conclusion. I may just be the kind of person that requires closure, but I really wanted a more detailed description of the end of the walk, since I had invested so much time and emotions in reading about walk itself. Definitely a great book though. Emotionally draining and very addictive!

Summary: Whatta Read
Review: I loved the book PERIOD. The book didn't really explain the reasons for what was going on, but that was part of the charm of this book, we don't really know the depth or reasoning behind what is going on. I think if the reader had, than the reader would have lost that overall connection with the plight of the walker. I thought the book was outstanding but it left me wanting the winner to come back in another book and become the Major...explaining the who's, why's, what's, and how much's of it all. HEY MR KING, if you aren't too busy or too laid up, give up a follow up to this one, give me a nod???? GREAT PLOT!!!
