This is a story from childhood that stuck with me. Very good. They are making a movie, and I usually tell people to watch the movie first. That way you can enjoy the movie without noticing all the things it gets wrong from the book. That said, the movie may never happen...

This is collected in The Bachman Books so don't double buy by accident.

Interesting. I had read this year ago as a short story, but this is 320 pages. Huh.

One of his best. I feel like The Hunger Games took a lot of ideas from this one.

Bachman books are all good reads. I feel like Squid Games was a combo of the Long Walk and Running Man.

This is a great book. Actually the whole Bachman book collection is worth a read. It looks like they don't sell the collection anymore (likely because "Rage" detailed a school shooting) so I'd jump on this if you hadn't read it.

Quote from Xray_Man :
When King wrote books, he was good. Once he started political commentary, everything went south.
But...this book IS a political commentary...on the Vietnam War.

Quote from J03 :
Grew up on Stephen King. He was my favorite author. Can't support him anymore as he's gone completely off his rocker. Another great lost by twitter. That said, I was intrigued so I looked it up at my local library and they don't have it digitally. Would've thought it would be popular enough to be at the library but I guess I can look for a paper copy next time I'm there.
I wanted to reply to both of you.
There is a difference between unbiased political commentary and hateful, biased political banter.

If you look at all of King's works his older books are much higher rated than his newer ones. He kept his politics at a minimum or blended them into his books in an unbiased and/or very smart way. The Running Man was such an excellent example.

He later works took a very cynical, hateful, spiteful turn meaning if you were not agreeing with King's viewpoint you were stupid and wrong. And he made this known IN the book. It turns off the reader right away IMO and it shows in the ratings of his newer books. I still read many of his newer books because I do like King's writing but what people have said about his newer books is correct.

His older works are masterpieces. Sorry I went on a tangent. Let's all enjoy his great writings his given us over the years.
