In the near future, where America has become a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. The game is simple - maintain a steady walking pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're out - permanently. (source)

Interesting story: Focus on the characters

4 stars

The Long Walk was a very character-driven tale about teenage boys who have to walk without stopping until only one of them is left. And while the story can be a drab, the characters and their interactions are what make this tale worth reading. Simple and elegant in its portrayal of a competition where the winner takes all and everyone else... well, you will have to read it.
