It was definitely a little creepy.
kingricefan Mission Accomplished! The back-from-the-deed walker is...
He dies a couple of pages into chapter 14. Then (at almost the end) in chapter 17 he's back as one of the 7 walkers still alive. He dies for the second time a few pages later.
So, on to how I felt about the story. I had forgotten how brutal this one is. There is just no mercy all the way through. It struck me that this is basically the same story line as The Hunger Games. But I think SK did it better. I really liked The Hunger Games but it had a lot of extraneous stuff that wasn't necessary to tell the brutal tale of kids dying for entertainment. I sure hope our reality TV never gets to that point!
Next up will be The Dead Zone. It's one of my favorites but I think I will wait a bit. I'm ahead of the reading on SK Revisited so I will read something with a little more fluff.
