The long walk

By Stephen King 

Five stars: *****

settings:

 The setting takes place basically through the united states. walking the whole time and visiting a lot of cities.

Main Characters:

Ray is very athletic and does most school sports. Peter is very quiet and doesn't make a lot of friends other than Ray while hes walking. Stebbins is the most mysterious of them all and he tell quite a bit about his past through the book.  

main plot events: 

At the beginning of the story a boy named Ray is really stoked about joining the long walk he is the only one of his friends that had joined the long walk. the long walk is a game that is played once a year and it involves 100 teens to play. they basically walk for their lives. the last one revives a big reward. about halfway through the book ray is told a story by his new friend peter. he says that the last person to complete the long walk was cheered on once he won and he didn't make any reactions to what was around him. he just looked at the kid that he was contesting by and laid on him and started to cry. winning the long walk was not as good as he thought it would be. By then only 45 of the 100 people had died. Witch sucked for Ray because he had a lot more to walk. 

Conflicts:

 During the long walk Rays shoes started to fall apart and he becomes partially barefoot. Than he starts burning us and feels dizzy because he really wanted to.

Recommendation:

 i would recommend this book to whoever likes excitement in their story. this book kinda reminds me of the maze runner and the purge into one. Its great and really suspenseful.
