Jonathan Comey at SouthCoastTODAY.com has a first person article abotu walking. His introduction is a lot of fun for Constant Readers. I'll quote the King portions and let you check out the whole article. It's worth the read.

One of my favorite Stephen King pieces is "The Long Walk," one of his first, a near-future novella about a group of 100 boys who try to outlast each other in a walk from Maine to points unknown.

The winner gets untold riches, the losers get shot. Like I said, it's a Stephen King thing.
What I liked best about the book was the way King described the feeling of walking — the sensations in your body, the feel of the outdoors, the intrusion of the elements, the inner monologue.
