Summary: Great!
Review: This was a great book! My first of Stephen King (I know, I know). I have a feeling it is very different from his other books, just judging from their movie versions, which are probably pretty chopped up. I really enjoyed this book, it was breath-taking to see what was going to happen next. A page-turner!

Summary: A great book for new King readers...
Review: ...and a short read for long-time readers. This book is an overview of what you can expect from most Stephen King books, a strong main character, small yet important subplots, some kind of evil force (in this case a monster) and exciting adventure. Whenever anyone wants to start reading Stephen King, now, I always reccomend The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Of course, King fans will enjoy this book as well. Short and quick read, yet still good.

Summary: King's Baseball Masterpiece
Review: First off, I loved "Tom Gordon" and next to "The Stand", I believe its King's best book yet. I've read about 10 Kings in the last year or so. While this book seemed to reflect the same pattern of thinking, suspense, and fear as the others, It had a lot more deep thoughts as well as better and more surprising foreshadowing than, for example, "Hearts In Atlantis" or "Thinner". I especially like the fact that it didn't get anywhere near as sick as "Pet Semetary". I might be a little prejudicesince I a huge Red Sox Fan as a pitcher too. I'm only a freshman in High School, in a Nowhereville in MO, But I've played enought to know the feelings that run through the second half of the book. Anyone who has played ball will get chills with the mental images of "Flash" Gordon standing tall on the mound, motionless, and collected, while the little girl tunes in to the broadcasts on her walkman. Even if you aren't a rabid baseball fan, you will love the way everything unfolds as the girl just gets deeper in and I couldn't put it down until I finally finished it. That would explain My fourth hour tardy today.

Summary: The woman who was disappointed
Review: I haven't read a lot of Stephen King's books, but from the few I have read, I can honestly say he's capable of better than this.
(I believe even Mr King admitted as much.)
There is very little character development, which gives one little reason to care if Trisha escapes the woods, in fact you pretty much know she will.

Summary: *The best book I've ever read!*
Review: When you say Stephen King you think GENIUS. This is one of his best books yet! It was recomended to me by my english teacher who knows I love suspence. It's an exiting book about a brave little girl who gets lost in the woods because she needed to pee. She has hope of getting out of there always turning to her idol (Tom Gordon) for that extra push. But besides being lost in the woods by herself, all alone, without any contact with human kind exept a [bad] walkman, something is following her. I recomend this book to anyone who likes baseball and suspence, you wont regret reading it. 14/f/FL

Summary: Page Turner
Review: This is one of King's best. A page turner that I completed in two days. His use of baseball terminology is sheer genious throughout the telling of his tale. Wonderful, wonderful book!

Summary: Stevey Does It Again
Review: I haven't read a Stephen King book in years. I totally enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Since I'm writing this anonymously, I'll even admit I had a tear in my eye and the end (I'm a guy and that's not something we admit openly).
Rating: 
Summary: I've read better, but not much.
Review: This is definately worth the read, but in my opinion it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, nor as good as everyone told me it was.Girl gets lost in the woods, after a few days she starts having dellusions, thinks "something" (don't want to give too much away) is following her, sees Tom Gordon (pro ball player) who helps her find her way. It's a fairly short book so you can probably finish it in a few nights.

Summary: The Girl who loved Tom Gordon
Review: Out of all the horror novels I have read, this is the only one that really scared me. It was very well written, and it kept you wanting to read more, and more, and more...
I would think that anyone that likes to read horror fiction would like to read this book. Also, anyone who likes to read about people overcoming their fears. This is a thrilling novel and anyone scared easily should NOT read this!

Summary: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon aka adventure
Review: The Girl who loved Tom Gordon By, Steven King The girl who loved Tom Gordon, by Steven King, is a book for readers who are looking for adventure. In this book nine-year-old Trisha wonders into the woods while on a hike with her bickering mother and brother. She just wanted to get away. Her parents had just recently divorced, and her and her brother were not too happy about it.
After getting of the trail, Trisha tries to take a short cut, but ends up getting lost in this unknown world. She survives on only the little lunch that she brought and anything she can find. Her plan, after finding a stream, is to follow it to civilization. This plan didn't work out too well though.
She went through many journeys and difficult pearls along her way. While in the woods she feels as something is stalking her, watching her. Only her best instinct and hope can help her find her way.
I would recommend this book to people who like adventure novels. This book had a variety of different subject that can attract many young readers like myself. Tom Gordon is a baseball player. Trish is a baseball fan, so the book speaks of baseball in many situations. People who are interested in baseball could most likely enjoy this book. I just hope whoever reads this book after me enjoys it as much as I did.
