Summary: Good story, but not true KING
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was a good book, yes, but not what I've come to expect from King. This was the first time I read A King book soley for the fact that it was written by Stephen King. While it was a good story, it lacked any mysterious "spooky" stuff to keep me hooked and wondering what was going to happen next. I'm sure he'll get us next time!
Rating: 
Summary: Very enjoyable!
Review: I feel that this book IS the kind of thing we would expect from KING. He has matured into an author of fictional literature, and cannot any longer be considered just a writer of pulp fiction.This is a teriffic story of one little girl and the very frightening experience she has. I enjoyed the book very much. Non-King fans can pick this one up and they will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: A GOOD WRITER ONLY HAS ONE JOB...
Review: Make me care and Stephen you failed. I couldn't get past page four and had no qualms about giving up and closing the book forever. Different strokes for different folks, but I remember when I could not put your books down...a long time ago I know, but you got me longing for the good old days.

Summary: OH WHERE, OH WHERE HAS MY STEPHEN KING GONE
Review: What happend to Stephen King when Stephen King was good. Pet Sematary: now that was a great King book. The Bachman Books are hard to beat. Rose Madder was excellent. But then comes Bag of Bones and this. King has lost his old charm and writing skill in the persuit of something more literary, and it is causing me to stick with his old stuff and other authors. The only reason I finished this book was that I listened to it on audio, and even then it was a struggle. I am a fan of Stephen King, not Jack London. ... it belongs in Young Adult Adventure. Well, I guess I am left to reading the old King and hoping that some day he'll come back in his former glory.

Summary: Not as exciting as I thought it would be.
Review: Not as exciting as I thought it would be - Not like BAG OF BONES, which I thought was his absolute best! None the less, it was good, but not like the scary Stephen King of the past.

Summary: An Easy Weekend Read
Review: A girl lost in the woods, a slightly interesting plot. But hardly the kind of thing that you would come to expect from King. However, that aside, the book contains a feel of actually being in the childs place and makes these woods come alive. The book isn't all that long and should hold your attention enough to finish it at a moderate pace.

Summary: Different than King's usual fare
Review: THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON touched my heart, which is a rare occurance for a Stephen King book. He usually just scares the daylights out of me. My husband bought me this book, while getting THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY for himself, and we are both very pleased with this month's purchases from amazon. I will never forget DESPERATION, or IT, or NEEDFUL THINGS, and will never forget THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON, but for different reasons.

Summary: A gripping, positive story
Review: I found myself rooting for Trisha as if I were her. As per the usual Stephen King book, the details are conveyed so perfectly that you can almost feel the mosquitos yourself! He's an absolute master mind. Fabulous work!!

Summary: STOP GIVING AWAY THE STORY IN REVIEWS!
Review: Many of you may not have liked this book, but PLEASE dont give away the story! I now have no purpose to read this, except to finish the book. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Summary: vivid memories of the Maine woods and Maine Storytelling
Review: Well-reminded me of my Dad reading to me, so many years ago, Fendler's book about the boy lost on Katahdin. I would like to read "Tom Gordon" to my daughter in a few years, but maybe it will stir up more bad dreams then I had about being stranded on Maine's highest mount. At the end of Tom Gordon, I had goosebumps, joy, and tears, the trail Trisha took was so real to this Mainiac, I felt I was right there with her every step of the way, being semi-lost in the Maine woods myself before. Others may not "get" this book as well, but just take a walk off the beaten path during one of your summer invasions of Vacationland, and you might get the feeling.
