It’s kind of a weird juxtaposition in this book where it seems like this kind of thing (the long walk itself) would be something from a very dystopian novel (almost hunger games-esque), but there’s a lot of very normal/modern things mentioned in the backstory that make it seem less dystopian, which kind of re-emphasizes the question of why are they doing this?

The pacing of this book is very interesting, I think probably meant to emulate the action of the walk.

I’m reading this for book club, and I was excited to read something Stephen king, since he’s such a well know writer.
I do think the concept is very interesting, and I’m intrigued to see where it goes.
However, I really do not like the main characters inner monologue, especially the way he thinks about / talks about women.
