The premise is an interesting idea. It could have been an interesting read, but it wasn't. I read past page 100 & stopped, but I did read the last chapter in hopes it would finally explain why there was this event once a year called "The Long Walk." Why boys voluntarily signed up for it. Why people allowed it to take place. What prize did the winner win? None of this was explained. It could have been a great vehicle for some of the boys to tell their stories, but it only went into that superficially without depth or emotion. It wasn't even particularly well written. I love many of King's book, but not this one. I am very disappointed
