Okay, I skipped a lot of pages in this book because the story was dragging on but I still thought that everything was perfect, just the way it should be. And it is my fault for skipping pages
This book is SO SO deep. I loveddddd ittttt....
To me the Long Walk was a metaphor for life, except in real life, you always have to keep on walking and if you take a rest, and sit down, you don't get three warnings. In some twisted way, this book is actually merciful because of the way the soldiers gave three warnings.
The soldiers' rifles were the cold grip of death that doesn't distinguish between rich or poor, intelligent or stupid.
Gosh, I loved this book!!! :D
the feelings the author portrayed in the book were so vivid and so heart-wrenching. How everyone slowly started going insane, and how in order to survive and live rich and well, you have to let go of your own humanity.
LOVED IT
