Rating: Summary: Being both an avid Stephen King AND Red Sox fan, I loved it! Review: Being a Stephen King fan from the beginning and a Red Sox fan for forty years, I couldn't put it down. Stephen King's ability to make you "see" his characters is truly amazing. Having been to Fenway Park, I could see what Patricia was seeing. The part I laughed the most on when she mentioned putting "jimmies" on her ice cream. Only someone from the East would probably know right away she was putting "chocolate sprinkles" on the ice cream. Keep writing, Mr. King.
Rating: Summary: One of King's Best!!!!!! Review: "The Girl Who..... was one of my favorite King books so far!!!! I started it on Wed. night and finished Fri. afternoon(I work 9 to 5). Trish talks like she's 40 and she's as smart as a whip!!! This book was very true-to-life. I just wish it was longer. I hope for a sequel, or at least another book that mentions this wonderfully smart creature!!!
Rating: Summary: Great King Book Review: Finally, a book that King fans can really enjoy. After some dismal releases by him, I was little worried with this one. However, this one was quite enjoyable and I managed to polish it off in an evening. The ending was a little sappy, but otherwise solid through and through. Suspenceful and one of those books you couldn't quite put down.
Rating: Summary: dissapointing Review: The book was allright it was very dissapointing for a Stephen King novel. The story was very lame and farfetched. Don't waste your money. Wait till it goes on a bargin book table at you local book stores!
Rating: Summary: Not brand-name Stephen King Review: While fans of horror author Stephen King may be disappointed with this mainstream novel of wilderness adventure and survival, fans of Stephen King, just plain author, ought to get a big kick out of it. Taking off his Master of the Macabre hat and taking a more than healthy dose of Gary Paulsen pills, King delivers a short, sharp tale of suspense without resorting to the usual genre trappings. No killers, no spooks, just a nine year old girl pitting herself against the environment. I loved it, and couldn't put it down. It's the first King novel that could be made into a really good Disney kids movie with almost no alterations (maybe cutting some of the language), and it's great.
Rating: Summary: Another Goodie! Review: I loved this book. I am an avid Stephen King fan and was delighted when I read this book. True, it was not one of his usual "scare me to death" stories, but it was indeed captivating. I don't know about you, but as I read about Trisha's ordeal, I really did feel like I was the one lost in the woods. It was hard for me to get beyond all those mosquitos! And, it would have to be just that way if you were truly lost in the deep woods. I found myself pulling for Trisha at every turn. The one thing I couldn't swallow was the fact that Trisha's parents could even sleep at all the night she disappeared. It takes all kinds.Be sure to read this book and enjoy it like I did.
Rating: Summary: Just Try To Put This One Down! Review: Stephen King tends to wander from every day reality in most of his novels, however "The Girl That Loved Tom Gordon" is a thrilling adventure of a circumstance that could happen to any one of us. As a reader you become engrossed in every step the little girl makes. I loved it!
Rating: Summary: One of the best stories Stephen King has told in years. Review: This book got my attention on the first page, and I could hardly put it down. It is not a work of horror, like most people would expect, but instead it is a well told story. Stephen King makes you feel like you are in the woods right next to the main character the whole time.
Rating: Summary: A big bore - never finished Review: Lost me after the first 25 pages. Skimmed about 20 pages more, then gave it back to the library. No dialogue, just thoughts going through a little girls head while she get lost in the woods. Big disappointment...
Rating: Summary: True Stephen King creepy!!! I loved it! Review: The images were so vivid, it was a well told story with feelings anyone can relate to. I have enjoyed Stephen King for years, and he just keeps getting better!!!!
