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.

Summary: My All-Time New Favorite Stephen King Novel
Review: After listening to the audio version of this book, read outstandingly by Anne Heche, I went and listened to it all over again - something I almost _never_ do.
IMHO, this is the best book Stephen King has ever written. I think it may well have been Anne Heche's bringing Tricia McFarland to "life", but it held me enthralled just the same.
While he does go a little heavy on the cheesy phrases and cliches, which he does in ALL his books, maddeningly; I still thoroughly enjoyed this book - so much that I may just go out and buy the audio tape - to throw in when I cannot seem to find any good books to listen to, which happens all to often. It is good for a week of solid, entertaining listening.
If you haven't listened to this book - try it -- I bet you'll be impressed!

Summary: Some great moments!
Review: The best part of this book was the foreshadowing provided by King. It's along the lines of "Little did she know that she was headed the wrong direction." It really brought me into the story and made me care about the lead character. Overall, a great book by King!

Summary: destructive fears
Review: With this book Stephen King proves one more time that he's one of the best in describing primary fears and feelings which sleep deeply inside a person until they break out. In "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" this person is a nine year old girl called Trisha. The fact that Trisha is such a young child makes you guess that she's never been in contact with those destructive fears up to now. This is the point which forces you to feel with her; to be afraid of the big bad thing that wants to find you at all costs and even - if you are very quiet - to hear Trisha's desperate breath and to feel its coldness on your back... If I was you, I would buy this biting novel right away!

Summary: An Excellent short novel, yet fell a little short in the end
Review: The story was very well written. It really held your interest throughout the entire book, however, I kept expecting the supernatural to be involved when she felt she was being chased by some "thing in the woods". This book has nothing to do with the supernatural, yet has more to do with the very thin line of reality and hallucination. If you go into this book knowing it has nothing to do with the supernatural, then you won't be let down and it is a great read.
Rating:
Summary: Short and sweet
Review: Being a Redsox fan made this book very enjoyable for me although it would have been just as enjoyable if it had been the Yankees that the little girl fell to sleep listening to every night (well maybe not AS enjoyable) However, the story is beautifully written and although it's short, it leaves nothing out. The way King describes the landscapes makes you feel like you're right there in the woods with the little girl. And i promise that you WILL cry at the end.

Summary: great book... but not his best...
Review: I'm a long time fan of Steven King, even though I found this book deeply involved. it's not really his best work. that's why I give it four stars. dont' get me wrong I loved the book but if I had to pick a favaorite of his this isn't it. the best book of his I've read would have to be Dorliors Clayborne. Which I found to be a break from his normal "Scare the Hell of you!" style which I do love. but this book defineitly shows King's abilaity to be so much more than just a horror writer. in fact I'm in his Libary and I can't wait to get every book he's ever writen.
