In this #1 national bestseller, master storyteller Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, tells the tale of the contestants of a grueling walking competition where there can only be one winner--the one that survives. Against the wishes of his mother, sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping...with the winner being awarded "The Prize"--anything he wants for the rest of his life. But, as part of this national tournament that sweeps through a dystopian America year after year, there are some harsh rules that Garraty and ninety-nine others must adhere to in order to beat out the rest. There is no finish line--the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit and you're given a warning. Three warnings and you're out of the game--permanently... Review: Best Author in the world! - It’s an amazing book !!! I don’t want to say anything about the story but it’s a must read!!!

A very intense and exiting book.
One of my favorite books. It’s so intense and exiting and riddled with anxiety. I had to by a new copy because my old one fell to pieces.

Ne jamais s'arrêter.
Ce livre, comme tous les livres de King, je l'ai lu très jeune, adoré, et je le redécouvre à présent. Son souvenir m'est resté longtemps en tête. Bizarrement j'y pense chaque fois que je fais une rando, que je suis épuisée et que je me dis à chaque pas que je vais m'arrêter une minute. Etrange comme des romans nous marquent, ce n'est pourtant même pas mon préféré du King. J'aime ce livre dans son absurdité. Enfin, aucune société civilisé ne pourrait inventer un jeu aussi cruel pour distraire les masses n'est-ce pas? ... Non? J'aime ses personnages tous attachants, leurs parcours, leurs doutes, leur combat pour survivre. J'aime ces pages si longues où l'on se sent marcher avec les Walkers, lentement, lentement, il ne se passe rien, on marche encore, lentement, il ne se passe toujours pas grand chose, on marche encore, mais où est la fin??? Alors oui ce livre traine en longueur. On ressent d'autant plus la fatigue des garçons et ce sentiment que cette épreuve n'arrêtera jamais. A chacun d'y voir ses métaphores, King laisse la porte ouverte. Une bonne lecture!
