How do you correct a vote. I clicked on "did not read". I was thinking of roadwork when I clicked that. Meant to give it something else.

[mae]

What was your vote? I'll fix it when counting the votes. No worries!

[Heather19]

Wish I could give it a 10. One of my all-time favorites.

[amd013]

It was "never read", should be 3.

Thanks,
Mike

To anyone who votes "Never Read" on this book. Do yourself a favour, beg buy or steal a copy, you are missing out on one of the best stories SK has ever written!

Definitely agree :D

I never finished this one. :unsure:

[Heather19]

What? Why?!?! :(

[Girlystevedave]

What? Why?!?! :(

I don't know. I remember it just not really grabbing me at the time. I'm a loser, okay? :lol:

I should give it another go one day.

[Heather19]

Please do. I've done that before, and sometimes they've turned out to be my favorite books :)

[Girlystevedave]

I know what you mean. It took me three tries to finish The Gunslinger. Maybe the last time I tried The Long Walk just wasn't the right time in my life.

[Heather19]

Yes, I do believe that sometimes if you read a book at the wrong time you won't enjoy it as much. It's kinda weird, now that I think of it.

[Sai Sheb]

I read it so long ago I honestly can not remember it. So I put down not read...

5. My favorite of the Bachman books. So shocking when the first contestant got his ticket.

I forgot to account for the extra vote of 3 from amd013 above. So the actual FAS is 4.326923077 or 86.54%. Sorry!
