A long-ass book about an even longer walk, yeah, just walk! Nothing interesting happens to be honest. Just some 100 boys, with whom I failed to develop any kind of emotional tethering, walking to their demise. Why would anyone in their right mind join the long walk knowing that it is certain death, is not clear to me still. The major, who is he actually, and what’s his motivation behind arranging the long walk? This book doesn't give answers to these questions. It probably would have worked better as a short story rather than this long-ass novel with no real climax.
