Summary: THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON
Review: The book The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King was an excellent book,because it's very suspensful, exciting, and can relate to some families.Lots of families can relate to the fighting that the mother and brother ,of Trisha, go through.The bickering over small and minor insidents.As the younger girl gets very upset with them and wonders off in her mind.What I also liked about this book is that it keeps you in suspense throughout the whole book.Wondering if she'll make it through the woods safely,or if someone will find her, or what would find her.Keeping those thoughts in your head if she's just going to give up,or keep on fighting and pushing herself to survive.Trisha also has to go trough all her troubles in getting bit by bugs,falling down cliffs,or if she'll be eaten by something before getting home to her mother.All in all this was a really good book.

Summary: A pretty good book
Review: This book called "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" written by Stephen King is a really intriging little book that is very interesting to me. I was glad to read a short quick paced book that fit my reading style perfectly. I thought it was great how Stephen King was able to get into the characters head so good. It made the book make a lot more sense because you know what all the people who are involved in the story are thinking. Some of the thoughts were a little old for a 9 year-old girl to be thinking but it's good he was trying. I thought the storyline was really beleivable how a family would go out hiking in the woods and a girl could get lost. I thought it was weird how a little girlcould fight through all the mental and physical needs it does take to get through the woods.

Summary: Quite Possibly his worst book ever
Review: I don't know what he was thinking when he wrote this. Not scary, not frightening, and not even any good. There isn't a hint of suspense in this book. The whole book is just disappointing. It's about a girl that gets lost in the world and lives off of berries. She's scared the whole time and if she had just stayed on the trail, I wouldn't have had to read this garbage for two hours. Leave this be.

Summary: An absorbing story
Review: In the past week I have read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Hearts in Atlantis. They are very different. Both are very worthwhile. This book sucks you in and won't let you go. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is very fast paced and I love the message. The last few paragraphs are outstanding. A recommendable book-even if you aren't a Sox fan.

Summary: Amazing book!
Review: I had wanted this book since it came out. I wasn't a big King fan, but liked the plot of the story, so my mother got me the book on tape. I LOVED it. It was a great book. I felt myself putting myself in the main character's shoes. I loved it. It was a great book!

Summary: What a Disappointment!
Review: I've been a Stephen King fan for years, but this one takes the cake. It was a boring and predictable story. This book would be good for pre-teens who are interested in beginning to read science fiction. A horror book it is NOT. I barely stayed awake to read the end which I had already figured out in chapter one! The only good thing about this book is it was SHORT.

Rating:
Summary: A book hard to put down
Review: I think King did an amazing job describing the scare of being lost in the woods. This book totally drew me in from the first chapter. I could not put this book down. It captivated me and made me keep reading just to see if the girl survived. His descriptive details and feelings of a nine year old lost in the woods was outstanding. I love King's books and this one just added to his spark that he possess when he writes. He is truly a masterpiece writer. Thanks for writing such a real and intense novel.

Summary: He's done it again.
Review: I loved this book! An easy and fast read. I really felt for this poor little girl lost in the woods and also lost in the depths of her own mind. Highly recommended book!

Summary: Real
Review: I bought this as a vacation read and but completely "left the beach" to fly through this book. I could not go to sleep that night until I had finished it. It was NOT what I expected. It was more.

Summary: King can write on any subject, and well.
Review: I've always wondered how anyone could be imaginative enough to write several hundred manuscripts pages on a story, and especially when limiting themselves to the tightness of an almost singular scene. In particular, King in MISERY, where the story basically largely takes place in a single room. Again, here, he is able to build an entire story around a limited subject, and scenes. But then it looks like King can accomplish anything he sets his mind to--can write in any genre, not just horror. Along with writers with similar ability, in particular Dean Koontz and newcomer Charles Wilson (especially in the case of Wilson's GAME PLAN which is the best book I've read this year) King's abilities are as good as they get. Keep it up.
