Long Walk / Thinner

The Long Walk: 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 pace of four miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're shot to death.
Thinner: Billy Halleck commits vehicular homicide when his lack of attention to driving results in the death of an old lady on the street. Overweigh Halleck is a lawyer with connections, though, and gets off with a slap on the wrist. After his trial, a gypsy curses him with a single word, "Thinner." Halleck begins to lose weight uncontrollably and must pursue the band of gypsies who are responsible for his dwindling condition.

Chapter 11

In chapter 11 it is reveled that Leda Rossington's husband, Cary. Instead of losing weight though, he's growing scales and turning into a reptile. I find this surprising...I didn't realize that the gypsies would go after other people in the case. I thought it would just be Billy, because he was the direct cause of the death.

Do you guys think that there may be other people involved in the case that have been cursed?
Do you think that the gypsies would take off the curse if they hunted them down?

I feel like I would be freaking out if I was cursed, but I feel like Billy isn't freaking out as much as he should have.
