Summary: Bad Ending
Review: When you pick up the book and read the first page, it looks like a pretty good book. You keep reading and like it, it builds up to an ending,suspense,suspense,suspense, stupidity.It is the worst ending Stephen King has ever written. It seems a good book about a girl lost in the woods, with something after her, it gets you excited about the ending, then disappoints you. I don't reccomend it at all, just skip it.

Summary: King and a little girl lost in the woods...
Review: This is the first Stephen King book I ever read, and I have to say, I am impressed. His attention to detail is amazing and his suspense it very good. He takes the reader down the woods with a little girl and gets her lost. What is very cool about this book is where it takes place. I live in New Hampshire, and this book takes place on teh New Hampshire/Maine border (about 20 minutes away from me)and King describes stuff that I recognize. It's weird to read about stuff that I know. Juwst so you know, for those who are not from New England, King does a great job describing NH and ME. Well..all in all, this is a cool book

Summary: jazzer
Review: This was one on the least interesting books I've read. Didn't anyone else notice how absurd the so called "monster" bear was? The kinds of bears that live in New Hampshire don't kill deer and spread thier entrails all over and would never track and attack a human. It would have been more interesting if he had used a "real" monster instead.

Summary: Could have been better, but still worthy of a read!
Review: This book started strong, lagged in the middle, then finished on a pretty high note. I did enjoy the story and how it was told by King, but it was just missing something needed to be a great survival story. It was not as scary as most King novels, but it had a few moments of fear. I recommend this story for a good short read, if you have nothing else to do.

Summary: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Review: Stephen King's "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" is an attention-grabbing read that keeps you on your toes. The spine-chilling suspense keeps the pages turning. Trisha, the main character in the novel, is a nine year old girl who constantly drifts off into her own world where the consistent fighting between her brother Pete and her newly-divorced mother seems to disappear. One Saturday, while on an innocent walk with her family, Trisha drifts off and becomes separated from her mother and brother. What happens to her in the following days is enough to keep the suspense alive. A main issue in the story is that of Trisha feeling alone. Her father was an alcoholic and she has always felt so separated from everyone else in her family. Reading this made me think about what it would be like to be alone, and feel so isolated from everyone else. King uses a great amount of detail in describing events and occurances in the novel, and it makes the story behind all of the description, all the more interesting. This novel is excellent for readers who enjoy suspense and frightening excitement. I loved reading this book and I very highly recommend it.

Summary: The Girl Who Loved tom Gordon
Review: A spellbinding book that will keep you turning the pages. The book shows greatly in detail the changes a mind makes when you are alone in the dark miles and miles away from anyone and anything. I could not stop reading this book. I couldn't put the book down. This book was exhileraing and action packed. All wilderness loving people this is your book. This book realliy goes into depth of the mechanics of the way a person thinks and how they gradually go insane.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: Stephen Kings never stops to amaze. This book was a great tale about courage, struggle, and love. I don't want to tell to much about the story, but I can tell you - this book can make you think. My heart went out for little Trisha McFarland, as she is lost in the woods, her only hope for survival a walkman - so she can here the baseball games. I give this a big thumbs up - as it makes human life and the relationships we have seem very real.

Summary: A blown save opportunity
Review: The premise of King's book is too good: a young girl lost in the woods, her furtive imagination going wild as she tries to find her way out. Unfortunately, the actual story is about as compelling as watching a 3 day cricket match. Who knows if King could have written it in a way to hold my attention, but as it stands, the story is dullsville. The best moments are when our heroine talks to Tom Gordon, but those are far and few between. Most of the book is written in a rather sophomoric way and many of the events in the story make you want to roll your eyes. A nice payoff at the end may have redeemed the book, sort of like a closer coming in in the ninth to save a losing game. But alas, this one will have to go in the "L" column.

Summary: Who wrote this book?
Review: I'm a fan of King, but this one didn't seem like him at all. More than half the book is a survival novel. It shows how a little girl finds food to eat, how she protects herself from the elements...etc. Until she starts to see mangled animals and trees does King's writing kick in. King wrote this well, but it had a few boring parts. It seems King is incorporating religion in more of his books too. Pick this up if you want a King book that is mild horror/survival.
