Stephen King personally stopped publication after a school shooter had a copy of it in his locker (from what I remember). I personally think it's ridiculous, but I guess it's not something he wants to have on his conscience.

You can find original copies on Amazon or ebay, although the prices are insanely high. I was able to pick up an original copy of "The Bachman Books" for about 50 Bucks on ebay. It comes with Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork and The Running Man. Newer copies of The Bachman Books don't contain Rage.(less)

Okay, random question. Was there a movie (maybe a tv movie) made which was VERY similar to this? I remember it from about twenty years ago, watching it on a late night run.

Sammi AH I think there has been made a lot of movies and TV-shoves about school shootings. It is an efektiv way to get an audience to pay attention quickly but…moreI think there has been made a lot of movies and TV-shoves about school shootings. It is an efektiv way to get an audience to pay attention quickly but after the manny shooting that has been happening, I believe that there is no longer being made that much. (less)

Got a pdf version of the book but there's some parts missing so I have a question if anyone has read it?

Rachael (iiluvmygirlz) I just finished it today. Maybe I can answer your question- although it is a year after you asked

Is there an interview where Stephen King explains his thought process behind the book? Was there a particular reason why he wanted to write this story? I was confused if I was supposed to relate to the main character or the other students or if this was supposed to be a dark comedy.
