ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Long Walk" by Richard Bachman depicts a dystopian world where one hundred teenage boys participate in an annual walking competition. The rules are simple: maintain a constant pace and do not stop, or be shot. The last boy walking wins a mysterious prize. The story follows the physical and psychological journey of these boys, highlighting their struggles with mortality, conformity, and the loss of individuality as they push themselves to their limits. The book delves into the darker aspects of human nature, exposing how extreme circumstances can lead to desperation, cruelty, and a constant struggle between hope and despair, while also exploring the effects of a society that has become obsessed with spectacle and competition.
