Summary
In the near future, where America has become a police state, 100 boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
The game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings and you're out - permanently.

Endurance of epic proportions
A classic King / Bachman book. The Bachman books always seem to include a measure of endurance, a story of people against adversity. Like thinner, the long walk describes the sheer horror of the endurance in great detail.
The narration was an absolute delight. The many participants of the long walk all had their own voices and their own personality.

Breathtaking
The single best story in the Bachman Books. It tugs on every heartstring. Simply amazing.

interesting story, abrupt ending
I enjoyed the journey here, but I really wanted an extra chapter at the end showing what happens next. i understand why it was ambiguous, but it's just left me feeling unsatisfied.

Amazing.
Very grim. Got through it in couple days very gripping. Well narrated, once you start couldn't stop thinking about it until I was finished.

From the writer of the Running Man comes...
The Walking Boy!
Excellent book. I really enjoyed it. Superbly written, as you’d expect from the King. The narration is top notch. It doesn’t get annoying and is clear and balanced.
Highly recommended.

1st warning no. (enter your number here)
Great performance by Kirby Hayborne fitted the style of story.
2nd warning no. (enter your number here)
I'm training for a walking marathon in a few weeks time this story came up on a support forum as one to lisen to. And I'm so glad I did. I've read quite a few Stephen King books over the years and he is one of my favourite authors. And this story simple in idea but so well "executed" is thought provoking in a way only SK seems to be able to do.
Final warning no. (enter your number here)
Defanelty worth a listen or read..
"BANG"!

For me Steven King does the best character building
Excellent narration and a great story, no supernatural but as always with King brilliant character development and human insight. Loved this and listened over 2 days.

Amazing book, but not the right narrator
I've always loved this book, but I just wasn't feeling the narrator. The story is raw and terrifying and the narrators voice just didn't fit. Read the book yourself if you can, it'll stick with you, it definitely lost a lot of itself in this recording.

Never a disappointment.
Has been on my ‘to read’ list for years. I’m glad I finally got around to it in audiobook form. Master of storytelling.

My favourite audiobook yet!
I have loved this book for years and couldn’t wait to hear it while, rather ironically, going out for walks. It is read superbly by Kirby Heyborne. He is incredible at making each character very distinctive and recognisable. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
