According to Goodreads, the book is about a teenager who competes in a competition called The Long Walk. "One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour without ever stopping with the winner being awarded 'The Prize'—anything he wants for the rest of his life. Slow down under the speed limit and you're given a warning. Three warnings and you're out of the game—permanently.”

The book has been banned from several school libraries, mostly in Florida, within the last few years. When speaking about book bans in the past, King has made his position clear. In a 1992 issue of The Bangor Daily News, he said, “To the kids: There are people in your home town who have taken certain books off the shelves of your school library. Do not argue with them; do not protest; do not organize or attend rallies to have the books put back on their shelves. Don't waste your time or your energy. Instead, hustle down to your public library, where these frightened people's reach must fall short in a democracy, or to your local bookstore, and get a copy of what has been banned. Read it carefully and discover what it is your elders don't want you to know.”
The Long Walk was recently adapted into a 2025 movie that has an 88% critic score and 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
