Review of 'The Running Man' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Now this is still one of my all time favorites along with The Long Walk, a novella included in [book:The Bachman Books]. I actually saw the movie of Thre Running Man first and thought it was great. When I discovered it was a Steven King book, I was so excited to read it. I was surprised at how different it was and yet still really good.

Then I checked out some of the other movies based on his books and couldn't help but laugh at them all (except the original of The Shining). Man, how could a man so good at telling stories make such bad movies?

Anyway, this is one of the dystopia books that I love so much where the world has gone awry and the underclass is not much more than chattel. In this version, the underclass guy wins, but the world is no better for it. …
