The long walk review

This book was great! lots of wondering and suspicion on to what happens next. most people dislike books that you know whats going to happen, this book you wont be disappointed. The long walk has a nice twist to it an very enjoyable to read. The concept of this book is simple really it is about a walk with one hundred contestants, The catch is only one person can win and so if you fall behind the line three times then your eliminated in other words killed off! You get to know the characters and all you wonder is who's going to fall behind and be cut off next. Its the kinda book that keeps you wanting more i was never bored didn't stop reading it till i was done. If i was to rate the book i would give it a 9 out of 10 for overall. The walker must maintain a speed of four miles per hour, if he drops below that he receives a verbal warning, if he drops below that for 30 seconds. This can be erased walking from an hour with out being warned. The major in the book is implied to have much power is made out to be representing a fascist state. The walk beings at Maine in Canada and travels the east coast of the united states untill winter. Also there is no finish line only till one walker is left standing. i recommend this book to who ever likes reading.
