"I better put my jeans back on."
Aug. 6th, 2007 12:58 amHoly crap -- Frank Darabont even mentioned it again at Comic-Con. If it seriously happens like everything says it will I WILL BAWL. AND I MIGHT ACTUALLY CRY IN THE THEATER AT A MOVIE. I'm almost done with the book for probably the 20millionth time. SO GOOD. D: Everyone I know who has read this book hasn't had bad shit to say about it -- and all the reviews I read are all YAYS!
This is one of my favorite things said about it:
The basic idea -- kids walk or they die -- is enough to give me goosebumps, but the way Garraty and the others continue, keep walking, after all endurance and sanity are left, is just overwhelmingly disturbing. My above critique and this observation don't come close to exacting the tone of this novel, which is a quivery sort of cold darkness. A highly recommended read, if only for its supreme effectiveness. Let me put it this way: The Long Walk has given me more nightmares than any of the other Stephen King books combined.
If any of ya'll like Battle Royale, this is it in a marathon. XD
ALSO. CAN I PLEASE HAVE THE COVERS FROM ENGLAND AND THE FIRST ONE FROM JAPAN AND THE CADMAN RUSSIA ONE WITH THE SMIRKY MAJOR? KSAJLKJDdALKWUT. ESPECIALLY THE ONE FROM ENGLAND. ESPECIALLLLYY. HEART.
P.S. McVries' "Oh, pickles" is the cutest thing ever. Fo' realz. XD
