Helpful Score: 2

This was my first attempt at a Stephen King novel. After reading reviews for many of his books, it seems that The Long Walk was a good place to start. The writing is different than anything I've read before. It took awhile to get used to but it does help the plot along. Halfway through the book, I just wanted to finish it just to get it done. When I was reading the end, I turned the page and the book was just finished. I was caught off guard and felt like I wasted my time reading the book. It never explains ANYTHING!

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**It doesn't explain how the boys got into the walk or why and it doesn't even tell you what the prize at the end is or what happens! Its just a couple hundred pages of thoughts inside this kids head. **END OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS**

I hope to try another of his novels one day, but if they are all like this one, no thank you.
