Uzun Yürüyüş (spoilers for the book ahead) i don't think this was a great introduction to stephen king. i watched a dude on youtube reccommending stephen king books and thought maybe i should read the shining hahaha but i walked into the bookstore, opened this, saw mcvries's name and thought fuck it. aaaaaaaaanyway i spent an awful amount of money.
first hundred pages took me like more than a week. then after that i finished the book mostly yesterday and read the ending today. i was reaaaaaally surprised when the homoeroticism between the two main characters was recognized. also, queerness and the internalised homophobia of garraty? let's just say stephen king is one honest writer. what i hated about this was...........bro no women. and a whole lot of TALK about women. and that talk is solely on their bodies. mcvries backstory? underwhelming and problematic. but i think the characters had that kind of insight too. like,,, garraty saw that and mcvries did too but still. anytime garraty talked about a girl i was like DUDE i am sure these girls had PERSONALITIES i mean care to share??? he just went on and on about body parts. i mean i get it it's a 16 year old boy but yall are ABOUT TO DIE. the WALK, the LOOOONNGGG walk?
okay let's talk politics. this was. anti-patriotic? i SUPPOSE. anti-capitalist? i also suppose. not a whole lot of world-building but it made sense. how this fucked up thing is normalized. and abraham's story,,,, about how he got in,,,,, he thought he was a useless piece of shit and the world would've been a better place without him. A SYSTEM THAT FAILS KIDS so systematically that they get to the point of wishing death and then it says: say no more! but i think the book philosophises on the idea of it —the kids constantly talking about life and death and

the movie was bad...you guys... YOU GUYS... the movie was bad :( it wasn't good. a very very sad hour and forty eight minutes. oversimplifies the politics of the book. cuts off a good set of characters. misunderstands garraty's motives. (stephen king did his homework by bothering to read freud and the screenwriter was more of an adler guy? i suppose) i could go on but it's late i have class tomorrow but the ending kind of got me though. it kind of got me.
