Summary: Bravo Stephen King
Review: This book is a great read and, from my perspective, a departure from what I am used to reading by Stephen King. King paints the wooded environment of Western Maine as a fine artist. I felt like I was along on Trisha's journey and was experiencing the toture that she was forced to endure. Excellent character development of Trisha and her family. I also liked the ending. Standing, facing the bear, with the Walkman poised, I could see the picture as clearly as if I was standing there as an invisible spectator. Nice job. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a page turning thriller.

Summary: Good but lacked some evil
Review: It was well written but need more evil to it at the ending. I didn't like how it turned out. Not too scary!

Summary: I Just Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is the first Stephen King book I have ever read, and I must say that it motivates me to read more works by him. I could not put down this book. I read it for a book report, but realized that I also enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed the spiritual themes, which from what I hear, is unusual for King. Tom Gordon represents Trisha's guardian angel, her only hope for "saving" herself. Whenever he saves a game for the Red SOx, he points to the sky to say thank you to God again reflecting the spiritual theme. Even if you have never read a Stephen King novel, I highly suggest you start with this one. It's not really that scary, but it offers enough horror and suspense to keep you interested.

Summary: Great Read with a Soft Ending
Review: I really liked this book. Told in the point of view of a little girl lost in the woods was refreshing. I have recommended this book to my 16 year old son. The book really kept my attention and I couldn't put it down. Then, at the end, it just fizzled out. I wish S.K. would have put as much enthusiasm in the ending as he did throughout Trisha's journey in the woods.And let this be a fictional lesson to parents going through divorces not to create such a hostile environment when they have kids to consider first. hmmm...

Summary: I always fall in love
Review: Whatever I might think of the storyline,(which was awesome) I always fall in love with Mr. King's characters. This little girl becomes so real, I expected to see her playing with my kids in the back yard. I remember growing up on a farm, surrounded by acres upon acres of woods. I would often go into the woods by myself, and pretend that I was being hunted by a T-Rex, or a monster of some kind. This book gave me such a feeling of deja-vu, it took me a couple of days to shake it off. Want to be a kid again? Read this book.

Summary: EXCELLENT !
Review: I read this book in about 4 hours. I can't remember the last time I had to read one start to finish. I could feel everything that little girl was going through. I have never been lost in the woods, but now I have a pretty good idea of what it feels like. I don't care who you are or how old you are, if you were truly lost in the woods, you would feel just like Trisha did.

Summary: Stephen King takes your mind on a whirlwind woodland journey
Review: I'm a longtime King fan and although this is not a classic horror-tale, it is very much a classic story. I came to care very much about the little heroine and could not put the book down because I had to know what she would encounter around the next tree. I felt like I was right there alongside her throughout. This book is very much like Gerald's Game in that you are in the mind of the main character and the entire story is based on her thoughts, but unlike Gerald's Game it is nowhere near as gruesome. This is King's new generation of novels, thought-provoking, sympathetic, and completely engaging through the last page. I absolutely loved it, and will definitely consider it a favorite.

Summary: An excellent read
Review: It's rare to come across a book that can actually grip you, personally involve you and change your way of thinking, if only for a time. This is one of those books. I also like the fact that the main character is a young girl, for once.

Summary: The Worst Book I've Ever Read!
Review: This is absolutely the worst book I have ever read. It takes TWO THIRDS of the book for something exciting to happen! And the ending is the biggest non-event I can remember. If you think that a girl walking in the woods listening to her Walkman is a great story, buy this book. I was the world's biggest Stephen King fan, but that man is riding on his name now. I'm literally offended that he would put this rag up for sale and take my hard-earned money. Save yourself the four bucks and buy some Nytol instead - they will both have the same effect.

Summary: Well writen, but not a classic.
Review: I have been waiting for this book to come out on paperback, an then an opurtunity knox came along. I read it in a couple of days and I liked it. It was well writen and easy to read. The story was great but it had some mistakes. I know that some of you don't want to read about some girl lost in the woods through the whole book. And Stephen King still hasn't gotten back into his original scary novels. I would recommend this book to everyone except for the ones who are fans of Stephen King and want a good scary novel.
