Long Walk by Stephen King
During the book the Long Walk, by Stephen King, an in-depth story of how a boy named Ray Garraty must survive the greatest challenge of his life unfolds. This annual event is summarized as follows: 100 boys start walking; if you walk under 4 miles per hour, you get a warning; after 3 warnings, if you slow down again, you are shot dead. The winner of the Long Walk is the last boy left walking. ... At times, I tried picturing myself in the Long Walk. ... I know this book is totally fiction, but I was considering whether it was possible to walk that far. ... I noticed that Stephen King doesn’t describe each character in-depth, he tells about their experiences, and from those experiences, you make your own inferences about the person. ... The Long Walk tests the limits of human endurance in a unique way and makes the reader think about life and death in a new light (or at least I did).
