Summary & Study Guide The Long Walk by Stephen King

Rate this book
Raymond Davis Garraty arrives in a guarded parking lot with his mother in a blue Ford that looks like "a small tired dog after a hard run." The guard retrieves Garraty's information and permits them to enter. Garraty's mother asks why the guard doesn't return the card and - not for the first time - says she doesn't like it. Garraty is wearing a fatigue jacket against the spring chill. Garraty, watching a guard eat c-rations, thinks again that it's real, that he's really here, and that he's actually among the field of walkers, but for the first time, the thought carries weight.

This study guide includes the following Plot Summary, Chapter Summaries & Analysis, Characters, Objects/Places, Themes, Style, Quotes, and Topics for Discussion.

Read The Long Walk but had to put this as the book since just the book wasn’t available.

I couldn’t find the actual book but I read “The Long Walk” by Stephen King. I need to watch the movie. I’m a sucker for a dystopian novel. Loved the world and the characters.
