The Long Walk

idk, looking forward to the film

 I’m not sure if it was the edition I read or if the ending is truly that abrupt. Rating this book was hard because the writing is phenomenal—the level of detail made me feel like I was walking alongside Garraty. But that ending… it really cut me off. <spoiler> Stebbins’ death felt absurd, Garraty’s trauma is so overwhelming he doesn’t even know what to do, and then the book just ends. </spoiler> No epilogue, no answers, no hope. Was that the point? If so, it confused me. 

so i honestly love this book. i wasnt expecting the usual but I also wasnt 100% sure what I was getting into. I enjoyed it. I love how it made me think. it got under my skin still, but not in the way his usual books do. The writing was beautiful per usual. The character growth was fantastic and how we got to know everyone at the same time. absolutely recommend this book.
