Summary: King continues to disappoint. But what else is new.
Review: The man writes like it's an obligation (which, contractually, it probably is). Perhaps if we stopped buying his drivel (face it, he's written nothing since The Shining/Stand/Salem's Lot era), perhaps he would be content to sit down and write one good novel ever two years or so rather than one bad one ever four months. And with this latest...man, finishing his stuff lately is a chore. Little trisha isn't the only one lost in this "novel." Forget it. Wait for the TV movie. And then don't watch it, either.

Summary: Wake me up when its over...
Review: Not since Gerald's game have I been so dissapointed in a King novel. I'm still waiting for something to happen and I've already read every page. Am I missing the point??? I'm not one of those readers who believe that King is only good when writing horror, but this book really failed to reach me. I'm surprised that the other reviews are so glowing. I think King should spend a little more time thinking about his next book before sending out to his adoring fans.

Summary: Predictable and childish outing
Review: A very disappointing novel; the pre-adolescent narration was painful to read, and the plot was predictable on every occasion. Save your money and reread The Shining or Misery.

Summary: You Don't Have to Love Baseball or Be Afraid of King to Read
Review: Although I admit I'm a "fan", this was a great read about something all New Englanders fear -- being out in the woods alone and not knowing how to get back. Thankfully the 9-year old heroine had her walkman (and poncho) with her, so she could listen to her hero, Tom Gordon finish night games for the Red Sox (in his own inimitable style)A great starter book for someone who's not familiar with King's ouevre. Note that there is a smattering of curses (who wouldn't curse in this situation?) in case one is considering the purchase for a child.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I thought Storm of the Century was an aberration but this is way worse. This is a book about abolutely nothing. Nothing at all happens. Red Riding Hood is a better story and I'm truly disappointed in 'The Girl who loved Tom Gordon'. When you compare this book to some of the masterpieces King has written such as 'Salems Lot' and 'The Stand', you realise this was written very quickly and maybe just to fulfill obligations.

Summary: a scary read
Review: this was different stephen king fare. i thought it was very well written and very believable. he proves once again that real life is stranger - and much scarier - than fiction.

Summary: Stephen King is back!
Review: At last, another King novel worthy of the author. Stephen King has digressed and veered so far off of his original style that I was beginning to wonder if he would ever come back. I am thrilled to say he's back, and just as good, if not better, than ever. His vivid descriptions of nine year old Trisha's experiences in the woods are hair raising at best, and the element of "something out there" adds flavor to an already suspenseful twister. This story needs no salt, Stephen King's flair for the bizarre and his brilliant, innovative mind will capture the reader just as in the King days of old. DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

Summary: Never get lost in the woods alone, if so be perpared.
Review: With the intelligence of Stephen King you can never go wrong with any of his novels, with this newest novel, it goes to prove I beleive he is the master when it comes to horror, or mystery books. I really felt for Trishia in this book, If I was her I would of never thought of the things she did to servive as she did, she was abrave little girl. Makes you want to hug your children, at every chance you get, cause you never know what can happen at anytime, never take life for granted, its to precious.

Summary: ok
Review: I am two thirds through this book. It seems good at times and then boring too. I am very tired of her circumstances as of this point and wish something quite interesting would happen. I do not like Kings science fiction works but this is too bland. I loved Shawshank.
