Rating:  - The Long Read
"The Long Walk" is my favorite novella in this series. Never in so few pages can any author amaze me like King can. The way he writes is so matter-of-fact in this story.
I bought the book when I was in Jr. High, but things were much different then. People kept their problems to themselves and suffered in adolescent silence. Because of recent events concerning the youth of today, the book containing "Rage" has since been banned, I heard. Maybe it's for the best. If you're a preteen ... Read More
Rating:  - Classic King
Long ago, before Stephen King was hit by the money bus - and later a real van - he could actually write. This collection of novellas helps celebrate that time; a time before slavish devotion to formula had him cranking out the same story over and over. A time before King's new-found relgious zealotry had him extolling the virtues of steadfast belief in a higher power at the core of his every over-long, soapy new novel. This four-story collection is a distillation of the writer King used to be.

Rating: - The most frightning stories King has written
These four early stories all share the same theme of a terrifing not to distant future that strikes as close to reality as a book can.

Its a chilling tale of a disasociated American watching and waiting ... Read More

Rating: - An Excellent Anthology
Wow. I am amazed by these stories that Stephen King wrote so early in his carreer. They are all impressive and well written. They all have lasting impact. The first two are excellent psychological thrillers, complete with plenty of interesting philosophy. The third is a slow moving, character analysis of a schizophrenic. The final story is a fast moving action story. All of the stories are excellent.
Rage(5/5)- This is the reason that you won't be finding this anthology in stores. This ... Read More
