Summary: A Review Of This Book!
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a graet book to read.It was my first book ive read by the author Stephen King.There were many thrills and laughs in this book, and many scares included in this book.Like when she is taking a "crap" when she is lost in the woods and she falls in it. And there on all throught the storie when something bad happens she compares it to falling in her "crap".Or when she is walking up a hill and trips and falls down the hill and comes to a ledge and she rolls off it and falls down bashes on some rocks messes her all up.But what was interestin about it was that it decribed it all on the way down untill she stops rolling.Also she gets stung by wasps and bees all at the same time.This book to me was an all togeather an very thriling book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tom Gordon?
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King is a book that isfrightening, perilous, and hits home. "The black-clad arms rosefalling away from the yellow-white claws...the claws that had left themarks on the trees, the claws that had torn off the head of the deer and ripped its body apart." That sentence is extermely frightening and full of suspense. Perils...hinder the girl's progress in finding her way out of the woods. It hits home because it is a perfect example of how a little girl could easily just vanish from her mother's side while walking down a seemingly harmless path. Frightening, perilous, and home hitting, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is all in all a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Profoundly insightful
Review: I confess that I very rarely read Stephen King books these days. I don't know why I decided to read this book, but I am so grateful that I did! The characterization in this book was absolutely fantastic. Children have a great deal more knowledge and understanding than most parents and teachers ever realize, and I applaud Mr. King for reminding us!

I'm amazed by people who don't make the connection between Trisha and themselves. Trisha is representative of each and every one of us, lost in our own woods, struggling with our own fears. King does an amazing job of illustrating how our once imagined fears become dangerously real as we weaken. There is so much more that I could say about this wonderful work. However, I fear that I have been long-winded, and should wrap this up. This book is truly a gift, for which I am eternally grateful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON
Review: The book The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King was an excellent book,because it's very suspensful, exciting, and can relate to some families.Lots of families can relate to the fighting that the mother and brother ,of Trisha, go through.The bickering over small and minor insidents.As the younger girl gets very upset with them and wonders off in her mind.What I also liked about this book is that it keeps you in suspense throughout the whole book.Wondering if she'll make it through the woods safely,or if someone will find her, or what would find her.Keeping those thoughts in your head if she's just going to give up,or keep on fighting and pushing herself to survive.Trisha also has to go trough all her troubles in getting bit by bugs,falling down cliffs,or if she'll be eaten by something before getting home to her mother.All in all this was a really good book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty good book
Review: This book called "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" written by Stephen King is a really intriging little book that is very interesting to me. I was glad to read a short quick paced book that fit my reading style perfectly. I thought it was great how Stephen King was able to get into the characters head so good. It made the book make a lot more sense because you know what all the people who are involved in the story are thinking. Some of the thoughts were a little old for a 9 year-old girl to be thinking but it's good he was trying. I thought the storyline was really beleivable how a family would go out hiking in the woods and a girl could get lost. I thought it was weird how a little girlcould fight through all the mental and physical needs it does take to get through the woods.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Quite Possibly his worst book ever
Review: I don't know what he was thinking when he wrote this. Not scary, not frightening, and not even any good. There isn't a hint of suspense in this book. The whole book is just disappointing. It's about a girl that gets lost in the world and lives off of berries. She's scared the whole time and if she had just stayed on the trail, I wouldn't have had to read this garbage for two hours. Leave this be.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: An absorbing story
Review: In the past week I have read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Hearts in Atlantis. They are very different. Both are very worthwhile. This book sucks you in and won't let you go. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is very fast paced and I love the message. The last few paragraphs are outstanding. A recommendable book-even if you aren't a Sox fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing book!
Review: I had wanted this book since it came out. I wasn't a big King fan, but liked the plot of the story, so my mother got me the book on tape. I LOVED it. It was a great book. I felt myself putting myself in the main character's shoes. I loved it. It was a great book!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What a Disappointment!
Review: I've been a Stephen King fan for years, but this one takes the cake. It was a boring and predictable story. This book would be good for pre-teens who are interested in beginning to read science fiction. A horror book it is NOT. I barely stayed awake to read the end which I had already figured out in chapter one! The only good thing about this book is it was SHORT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book hard to put down
Review: I think King did an amazing job describing the scare of being lost in the woods. This book totally drew me in from the first chapter. I could not put this book down. It captivated me and made me keep reading just to see if the girl survived. His descriptive details and feelings of a nine year old lost in the woods was outstanding. I love King's books and this one just added to his spark that he possess when he writes. He is truly a masterpiece writer. Thanks for writing such a real and intense novel.
