My complaint against Stephen King, whom I normally like his work is that he could not be original enough to come up with a title for this book that was not already used by another leader (Rawicz) in 1956 on a theme that had nothing to do with this book. My message for any leader of books, movies, or even song writers, Never make a piece of work and use a title for it that was already used by somebody else previously.
King could have chosen “A Long Walk” or “The Deadly Long Walk” but dont be so unoriginal as to copy somebody else’s title that has already been copyrighted. The penalty for doing so in this case, is that the average rating for the above book has now been decreased by my rating. This may really cost King some money.

Dreadful. Absolutely and completely horrible. That is all that I can say about this novel.
The End.
Reader’s Rating: 1 / 5
This is a very tedious and stupid tale about a bunch of losers who go on a long walk. If they don’t walk quick enough then they get shot!!! Isn’t that a wonderful tale thought and that is about all there is to say about this highly overrated “one note song”. I give this book 5 stars because when it was published under the Bachman name nobody bought it and when it was published under King’s name it nearly became a bestseller. King would have made an brilliant “Marketing Executive”.

There’s a reason this book is written by Bachman — because it is terrible and King was smart enough to distance his “brand” from it. The tale is dreary and uninteresting and the most fun to be had is chuckling over King’s, er um, Bachman’s use of language. Guess he was bored too. Don’t bother. If you are this hard up for a book to read — find some ancient Koontz thing lying around at a Library Used Book Sale.

Okay read, it could have been about one hundred pages shorter if King had left out the zillions of times the Lord’s name was taken in vain. At least he didn’t slot in his proabortion leftwing politics like he did in his book. Insomnia.
