  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

5.0

I felt like I was on the Long Walk as participant #101. It never ceased playing with my mind and emotions as the walk went on. I got frustrated with the characters, sad for the characters, and even found myself cheering them on when situations looked bleak. 

It has a slow start, but once you get going on the Long Walk it’s hard to put down.
