    I think it has been at least 7 years since I read that book (I keep telling my mom to dig it out of the Garage & mail it to me) but that line seriously made my heart jump reading it...I think stories like the Long Walk are very powerful. No happy ending sticks with you and haunts you for life.

    got to hand it to Bachman, the "guy" may be pessimistic, but at least he's a realist. or...as real as a science fiction novel can get.

    I thought that the interesting thing about Desperation and The Regulators, was that Desperation was much more a Bachman book, in that it was much more gruesome and dark than Regulators. I wonder if he didn't get his alter ego and his self mixed up a little there.
