Recommend to anyone who is a fan of Battle Royale or Running Man.
Quick Synopsis:
Every year the government holds a sporting event known as the long walk. The basis is 100 teenage boys walk...for a long time. If you drop below 4 miles an hour at anytime you get a warning. You get rid of a warning every hour but if you get a 4th warning you get a "ticket." Of course that is just the nice way to say the military guards will shoot you.
Most of the book deals with the main character and various other walkers conversations while they walk. Conversations range from such topics as the background the characters, why they volunteered to participate in the walk and the state of society.
