In an ultraconservative America of the not-too-distant future when America has become a police state, the annual marathon is the ultimate sports competition, a deadly contest of endurance and determination. One hundred boys are selected each year to enter a grueling 450-mile marathon known as "The Long Walk." The game is simple: maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. If you break the rules, you get three warnings, then you're outâ??permanently. The winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life; but a single misstep could be the last.

Travel a road of horrors with one of the world's bestselling authors in this harrowing tale of chilling, macabre possibility.… (mais)

I had not read a King for more than thrity years. I stuck with this one against my better judgement to give it a chance. My reaction to the ending was "So What"?

I regret having not cut my losses very early in this book. ( )

Whenever I read King, I always remember how much I love King. From my 1st experience with Cujo (borrowed from my Mom) to The Stand and ultimately the final book in the Gunslinger series that I waited 20 years for.

I love the Bachman voice, the King voice and the voice in tandem with Straub. I love how you can be immersed in a perfectly ordinary story, about a perfectly ordinary guy and look up hours later too scared to get up and turn on the light. I have had many a 'how the f*ck did we get here?" moments with King and loved every minute of them.

This book dragged me back into that world and I think I'll close the door behind me for a bit as I mine my digital bookshelves for more..

I had been intending to read something a touch more literary, but sometimes I've just got to go with what the library directs me towards.

Anyhow, this is a good, intense read. A very, very simple concept - 100 boys set off on a walking competition where anyone dropping below 4 miles per hour is killed. Last man standing wins.

There's an obvious similarity with The Hunger Games, although here the participants are just trying to outlast their competitors, not kill them. Unlike the Hunger Games there's almost no explanation of why the walk happens, or what has happened to society to lead to its establishment. In fact, the book just follows the race - no scene changes, no digressions, no exposition. It's all about the race. In that respect there's a certain formalist quality to the book (perhaps why King wrote it under his Bachman pseudonym?) and it gives an admirably spare quality to the book.

It's engrossing and entertaining, and also largely convincing - my disbelief remained on suspension for the most part. I think it could have been a little bit shorter.

Probably one of the darkest, most VIVID dystopians I have ever read. I remember stealing this from my mum's "not for kids" shelf when I was in high school. I tell folks I'm in Lit courses with about it all the time but most haven't heard of it. Still gives me the willies.

Highly recommended. It's meant to close the distance between what is possible for our future and what is happening now. It's probably even MORE chilling in the generation of Trump than it was when it was written.

Highly recommend reading this one. It changed the way I think about stories. ( )

This was an interesting read. Almost the entire story is told by way of dialog and the reason(s) for the Long Walk never seem to be revealed. The ambiguity was frustrating at the beginning but ended up being one of the strong points of the novel. Recommended if you are into Stephen King or are on a challenge to read his work (as I am currently doing). ( )

Wielki Marsz
Jaka jest największa nagroda, którą można sobie wymarzyć? Wielu odpowiedziałoby pieniądze, sława czy władza. Ale jest coż ważniejszego od tych rzeczy. Największą nagrodą jest zachowanie życia. Taką właśnie tematykę podjął Stephen King w książce zatytułowanej "Wielki Marsz". Autor znowu zaskoczył czytelników głębią swojego umysłu. Stworzył bowiem opowieść wciągającą, alegoryczną i tonącą w mrocznym klimacie.

Tym razem S. King mocą swojej wyobraźni przeniósł czytelnika na start wyścigu. Meta natomiast znajduje się tam, gdzie padnie ze zmęczenia przedostatni z zawodników. Raz w roku do Wielkiego Marszu stają młodzi chłopcy z całych Stanów Zjednoczonych. Ich zadaniem jest maszerować tak długo, aż zostanie tylko jeden. Jeden, bo pozostali zginą, jeśli spróbują wycofać się w trakcie wyścigu. Trasa marszu biegnie przez ogromne połacie kraju, a młodzi zawodnicy muszą wędrować niezależnie od warunków pogodowych czy pory dnia.

"Wielki Marsz" S. Kinga opowiada o brutalnej i bezwzglednej rywalizacji. Cel może osiągnąć tylko jedna osoba, a śmiałków jest wielu. Czy w grupie znajdą się ludzie gotowi pomóc słabszym zawodnikom? Czy chęć przetrwania okaże się silniejsza niż ludzkie uczucia?

Wędrując śladem zawodników wyścigu, czytelnik posmakuje napięcia, jakie zbudował S. King. Zagłębi się w mroczny świat, w którym obowiązuje tylko jedna zasada. Za wszelką cenę iść do przodu i nie zatrzymywać się nawet na moment. Tylko wtedy osiągnie się cel podróży i zdobędzie nagrodę.

"Wielki Marsz" to książka dla wszystkich miłośników literatury grozy. Ale z pewnością i inni czytelnicy znajdą interesujące wątki w opowieści S. Kinga. Niewątpliwie domeną tego autora jest to, że potrafi dotrzeć do wielu odbiorców.

"Für mich war das ganze Universum leer, ohne Leben, ohne Sinn, ohne Willenskraft, ja, ohne Feindseligkeit; es war eine einzige, unermesslich große, todbringende Dampfmaschine, die in ihrer tödlichen Gleichgültigkeit vor sich herstampfte und mich Glied für Glied zermalmte. Ein ödes, düsteres, einsames Golgatha, eine Todesmühle! Warum waren die Lebenden, die dorthin verbannt waren, ohne Gefährten? Warum hatten sie ein Bewusstsein? Warum, wenn es keinen Teufel gibt - oder ist der Teufel etwa euer Gott?" - Thomas Carlyle

To me the Universe was all void of Life, or Purpose, of Volition, even of Hostility; it was one huge, dead, immeasurable Steam-engine, rolling on , in its dead indifference, to grind me limb from limb. O vast, gloomy, solitary Golgatha, and Mill of Death! Why was the Living banished thither companionless, conscious? Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God." - Thomas Carlyle
