One of my all-time favorite stories. How could you not love this one?

This one was excellent! There was no "supernatural" element but man was it intense and scary as all get out! What a read.

My favourite short story (tieing only with the Langoliers)
I read this and cried like a baby, the whole story just touched something inside me.
Definitely my favorite Bachman book.
A good solid 4 for me.
Same here. I remember intensely enjoying this one - but I haven't reread it yet. Maybe I should put it in my stack of books to read.Originally Posted by divemaster

There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
5! One of my favorites. Short and sweet, no filler. Great idea and story.
This is one of the few that made me think about the story...nay, daydream...when I wasn't reading it. I read a lot of King during school but sometimes I got caught and had to fly right for a class or two. That is when I day dreamed.
A 4.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

This is my favorite Bachman book. I had read this many years ago, and finally re-read it last year. Still a winner.

The poll has closed. The Long Walk has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.586206897 or 91.72%, placing 2nd (runner-up) in this bracket. It will be moving on to Round 2.
Woo hoo!
This novel has had a surprisingly strong showing in all three of our Constant Reader Awards for a novel that's not very widely known. In 2009, The Long Walk finished in 7th place, and went down into 14th in 2010.
And I'm hoping it does even better this year!

Yeah, it fell out of the top-ten last year, so it didn't participate in the third round. We'll see how it does this time...
