    Default The Talisman VS The Long Walk

    Which book would you rather re-read: The Talisman or The Long Walk?

    This is the third and final round of our Constant Reader Awards. The top ten books advancing from the first two rounds will be competing in a series of polls against each other, based on re-readability. Every book will face-off with each of the other nine books in the top ten. Polls will last one week.

    The winner of each poll will have 0.1 points added to its overall score. At the end of the round the scores will be compiled, giving us our true top ten listing and the winning title for the Best Stephen King Book Ever Published.

    Please be sure to vote solely based on which book you would rather re-read in each face/off. If you have not read one or both of the titles, please select he "Never Read" option.

    This was one of the toughest ones for me, but I have to go with The Talisman.

    Yes, you are my long lost twin sister. (We knew that before, of course.) I read The Talisman twice, and both times found only the Sunlight Home part really worthwhile.

    I only got about 100-150 pages in, and then gave up. I just couldn't go on.
    What did you think of Black House Jean? I was thinking of maybe giving that one a go, but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it.

    The Talisman
    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft

    I also only liked the Sunlight Home parts of Talisman, along with Wolf.
    The Long Walk,
    that was easy.

    Black House is one of my absolute favorites, it's in my Top Five! Read it, you won't regret it; you can read it without The Talisman, and then maybe The Talisman will acquire some interest, because of what you've known from Black House.
