Pros: Non-stop action, short and satisfying Cons: Don't see the movie. Don't expect anything like King's newer stuff.
I read this book for the first time when I was 12 or 13, and I was blown away. The Running Man was the second 'grown-up' book I ever read in my life (Jurassic Park being the first - after the movie came out) and could not have picked a better one. I ...
Pros: The best story Stephen King ever wrote. Cons: None.
I approached reading the rest of the "Bachman" books some years ago with less than full enthusiasm, after reading Rage first. It was a raw, unfinished product, quite unlike the much more professional and satisfying stories I was...
Pros: A fine piece of work by King - very difficult to put down. Cons: I can't imagine any cons.
I am truly an avid Stephen King fan, have prided myself on reading everything the man has written. I recently discovered that I had skipped this one, this Bachman book - The Running Man. The Bachman books are, if you haven't read any, a glimpse of a ...
Pros: Full of action and suspense, as well as satiric elements Cons: Only a short story

Pros: Kept me interested to the last page Cons: Not a very good story all together
I think that Stephen King is an awesome writer, I have tryed to read all of his books but some of them can't keep me interested for very long. This book although for reasons beyond me kept me into it.
Basically the whole story to me was like...
I am the ultimate goober. I bought this book after I saw the movie. Why is it that the worst Stephen King books become the worst movies? I mean geez, Apt Pupil, Running Man, can we see some kind of pattern here!?!
Pros: Excellent story!!! Cons: Quite different from normal King books.
Although I am sure most of you already know this, Stephen King writes, or used to write, under the alias of Richard Bachman. Bachman, by principal, had a much grimmer outlook on life. Instead of the hero living "happily ever after" by the end...
