Summary: This was one bad book!
Review: I can't believe Stephen King wrote this book. There wasn't one bit of horror in it. I kept reading hoping that it would get better by the end but it didn't. What a waste of time!
Rating: 
Summary: A good Book.
Review: This book is one of the best. I really enjoyed it

Summary: A great one day snack!
Review: This is not The Stand, a feast for several days, but it certainly is a very tasty snack when one's personal reading time is limited. Perhaps those disappointed readers have lost the knack of becoming a Trisha, heart pounding, trying to stay calm, singing in the dark... A wonderful lose yourself for a day book.

Summary: Good reading - hard to put down.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I didn't think I would by the book jacket, but once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's scary to think that one wrong turn can leave you wandering for miles in the woods -- but it can happen. King has shown us that he can stray from the genre of horror in the past with books like Deloris Claybourne (excuse the spelling) and the Green Mile, but this is his best of the "non-horror" books. I do hope, however, his next few books return to the supernatural. :)

Summary: A Completely New King!!!
Review: Even thought I thought that it was too short, one of King's shortest novels, I really enjoyed reading it. King takes a new approach to writing, dealing with more details and less on muliple character development. TGWLTG really made me feel like I was lost, and I found myself getting up for something to drink and eat a lot. Pretty good book, but not the best. In one word: Different.

Summary: This book made me think!
Review: This book made me think of what I would do if I were lost in the woods. For one thing I would wander off the trail in the first place, eat raw fish, or be ale to stare down a bear!
Rating: 
Summary: Very different from King's other books
Review: I really liked this book, but I found it rather boring compared to S.K.'s other books. Maybe if it was longer and more details and weird stuff were added I would have liked it more.

Summary: I laughed, I cried.. really.
Review: Pardon my gushing, but this is one of those stories that take you in, absolutely convince you of imaginary dangers, and show you how courage, YOUR courage, can save the day. I've always said that King could write anything, not just horror, and this book is a great example of my point. It's a relatively short one, but they make the best movies. (Hmmm...) In short. I'd buy it, King fan or not.

Summary: Good, but it wasn't hard to put the book down
Review: Usually when I buy a Stephen King novel, I can't put it down. But this book lacked his usual suspense and imagination. The plot was shallow and somewhat predictable. It's lacks the usual King magic.

Summary: Crawls inside a mind....
Review: ... and writes a book. Mr. King presents people and/or animals with situations and does a wonderful job of portraying how they react or act in that situation.I am a great King fan and always will be. I do not understand these people saying this is not a typical King book and being dissappointed in it. Did they read Gerald's Game or Cujo to name two similar works? King makes you think about what is around the next corner and here he does a terrific job of it through the mind of a nine year old. Thanks again, Mr. King
