Waste of time. Stupid story. Ending? Pffft. Don’t waste your time or money.

Can’t. say that I liked many of the characters in this one. But, still, it’s Stephen King and so…4 stars.

Walking into a nightmare!. This is one competition no one would want to participate in! I was drawn into every page of this grueling, terrifying walk with Stephen King—and his main character, Ray Garraty. Rarely has King ever written a darker tale of horror and suspense! I’ve heard that Frank Darabont is getting ready to adapt this into a movie. Make it a good one, Mr. Darabont!

The long bore. Stephen King once again proves that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT can produce more exciting works of fiction. Like all his stories, the long walk is dry, talentless, and reads like it’s written by a depressed teenager for a creative writing class.

Best Book I’ve read. Seriously one of the best books I have ever read, some raw emotion and some of the best writing I have ever seen.

Amazing!. Riveting, simple character study. King at his best (as Bachman).

The best!. This is by far not only my favorite book but my favorite (and really only favorite) Stephen king book

A Constant Reader’s Favorite. I first read this over 20 years ago and it is still my favorite Stephen King story.

Great book.. It’s cool that King Road it as a freshman in college, and that it’s an allegory for the Vietnam war. I am surprised that a movie hasn’t been made out of it in the 40 years since its publication, also surprised that king didn’t sue the author of The Hunger Games because of their very close similarities.

Snooze fest. Boring. Never gives any context as to why these boys are doing this, making it pretty meaningless. Set in distopian world, but never tells us anything about it.

Interesting concept, poor execution. As a King fan, I have to be brutally honest: it’s not even close to his best. The Long Walk delivers in monotony and poorly developed character relations. It’s difficult to get invested in characters and even more difficult to continue reading. The plot and ending is easy enough to decipher from chapter two, and the ‘big twist’ is a two or three paragraph insertion that feels like an after thought. However, if you make it to the end of this short story turned novel, you will be highly disappointed by its climax and ending, leaving the reader unfulfilled. Read if free.

Great book. Stephen King kills it again, great book. Slow build but it helps you go “insane” with the characters!

Long walk. Only King could come up with this bazar story .I kept thinking more than one would be standing when said an done , no maybe the winner was the loser in all of this . Great read !!

Meh. Good book, I know it’s kings style to not tell you much of anything about backstory which you know is fine I guess but, the ending blew, like bad. So yeah it was worth my time but it only broke even.

Horrific and Thought Provoking. This is the first Stephan King book I have ever read. It was absolutely horrific yet an amazing read. I was hooked from start to finish. I would recommend this novel to anyone who is brave enough to take the Long Walk with Ray!

Slow until about halfway through. I love Stephen King, don’t get me wrong, but this was just kind of mediocre. I predicted what was going to happen about 3 chapters from the end. Overall not a bad read, has a good message, just not my PERFECT book

Solid book. One of the best I’ve read and it definitely impacted who I was when I read it. Most of kings work is at least decent but this one takes the cake for me. Maybe it because of the time in my life that I read it but this book really changed my view on a lot of things and is a all time classic for me and I recommend it with out even a passing thought in the negative. If your a teenager or young adult I can’t recommend this book enough.

Easy read. Very good book, kept my attention. Good for a teenager or adult to read.

Wonderful. Wonderful book!! Read it in Highschool and could barely finish my school work bc of how drawn I was to what would happen next.

amazing. Just finished 30 seconds ago. Such a heartfelt, raw and believable book about teenage boy friendship, determination and love. One of my favorite King books, up there with The Body.

Intense!. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. This book was a great and VERY intense read! The only thing I didn’t really understand was the ending — it left me a bit confused. I highly recommend reading this if you’re a fan of Stephen King and/or these types of books.

Great Stephen King Find. Another great but not so well known book by Stephen King/Richard Bachman!

Disappointed. Ending was awful. Not worth the read.

One of the Best. I had to review this book, as I've never read such a novel that would slip into my mind during the day, as if it were a true and ongoing situation. I'd wonder during my day, where the boys (the walkers) were 'by now' and how they're doing as they walk and aren't allowed to stop. I'd find myself actually thinking about these fictional characters - all walking until only one boy is left - the winner! The only one left alive. We get to know these boys extremely well, via Stephen King's incredible writing. Good horror!

Confused. Good book but the end was really disappointing

satan created stephen king. this book is really good. this book also created a whole in my chest and the only way to stop the ache is by hitting my chest till it hurts more on the outside than on the inside. i really liked this book

Skip it. Stupid. ……….>>>…….>…………..

4.5 Stars. This is only my second Stephen King book and I really enjoyed it. My favorite books are mainly character driven books and this was amazing. I felt like I was right there with them. You really see them slowly going insane or giving up. The crazy thing is that there were crowds and spectators cheering the entire walk but just like the walkers, at some points you forget they’re even there. I wish we knew the back story of how the walks started. I feel like it was very realistic, especially the authenticity of the boys, all under 18, thoughts and conversations. It made me really sad for them bc they’re all just kids. None of them really realized it would be that hard, painful and frightening. Every time someone got their ticket, I would search back in the book to each all their interactions with Garraty, just so I could remember their “life”. See how they started, confident and happy, to how they ended, scared and broken. I really enjoyed the ending (if you can really enjoy something so sad). Felt really realistic. Overall, this was a really good book. I’m definitely going to read more of King’s books.

The Long Walk. While the novel is pretty good overall there are several issues needed to be discussed. The novel is severely outdated which big problem sometimes. The novel is slow as well, which makes it drag and dry. Other than that a clear page turner and Classic.

Great book. Reminded me of the hunger games, and seeing all the characters progressively dive into insanity

The Long Walk. Outstanding start, I can’t wait to read the marvellous action. Thanks for adding it on this app!

Eye opening. The long walk gives perspective on what to be thankful for, the true meaning of self sacrifice as well the ability to give when all is lost, fate, friendship, love, and most importantly loss all while displaying the fragilties of mankind. Psychological warfare and the effects the mind have on the body are perpetual themes and make you believe you are enduring this enslavement of a walk. Incredible.
