The Long Walk: I'd wanted to finish this before seeing the film but failed, which then slowed me down. I guess that's fitting for a book that firmly puts you into how draining this situation is. Tough but gripping.

Rage: This is a rough book and not even because of the subject matter, but because it feels like a writer attempting to handle it with nuance but resulting in dull backstory and lacking any tension from a student holding his class hostage.
