![]() ![]() My advice, buy this and The Running Man and write a letter to the publisher telling them how much you hate them. Yes, it is a cheek to narrate only three out of the four Bachman books and then sell them individually rather than as a full collection. ![]() Each is memorable, given their time in both the sun and the rain and you feel for them in the way you'd be hard pressed to feel for any contemporary young adult protagonist. ![]() It works too, having drawn just deep enough into the world to flesh out the walkers. The Long Walk Richard Bachman (Pseudonym), Stephen King 4.10 157,516 ratings9,871 reviews Want to read Kindle 9.99 Rate this book On the first day of May, one hundred teenage boys meet for an event known throughout the country as 'The Long Walk.' If you break the rules, you get three warnings. Indeed, the characters make the book so memorable given that there is no real plot, instead reading what amounts to the analogue version of reality television. Heyborne's range is also accomplished enough to do justice to the voices, particularly those of Stebbins and Barkovitch who are the kind of characters that truly need nuance. It takes a while to get used to the pitch of Kirkby Heyborne's voice but given the average age of the walkers is around seventeen, it makes sense. The late Richard Bachman's best work after The Running Man (Rage is sadly out of print, apparently forever now) and finally on Audible. ![]()
