The opening can be read at Amazon. The paragraph in
question could certainly be improved, since ‘The long walk
... had never seemed so endless’ does rather suggest more
than one previous experience with said walk, but there’s no
actual contradiction here: it just says that this second
walk seemed even longer than the first, and we’re
immediately told enough about the first to suspect that it
felt pretty long.
