Summary: WHERE'S THE CREAM FILLING?
Review: A good surface plot but nothing underneath. I kept thinking that with every page turn something new and exciting would happen but it was the same thing ... bugs, dark, rain etc... Definetly not one of King's best.

Summary: A Stephen King failure!
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is without doubt a failure. The 10 year old girls and boys who read it might find it enjoyable; however, in my opinion, it wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Give me a refund!!!

Summary: Touching, a new style from King
Review: Only The Triumph and the Glory can compete with The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon for suspense, profound insights into human nature, great adventure, and emotionally powerful scenes. Stephen King has displayed great virtuosity with this one, it is a wonderful book. Mainstream Stephen King readers may not find what they expect in this one, but I think it is a great change of pace for one of the finest writers of our time.

Summary: Good story, but not true KING
Review: The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was a good book, yes, but not what I've come to expect from King. This was the first time I read A King book soley for the fact that it was written by Stephen King. While it was a good story, it lacked any mysterious "spooky" stuff to keep me hooked and wondering what was going to happen next. I'm sure he'll get us next time!
Rating: 
Summary: Very enjoyable!
Review: I feel that this book IS the kind of thing we would expect from KING. He has matured into an author of fictional literature, and cannot any longer be considered just a writer of pulp fiction.This is a teriffic story of one little girl and the very frightening experience she has. I enjoyed the book very much. Non-King fans can pick this one up and they will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: A GOOD WRITER ONLY HAS ONE JOB...
Review: Make me care and Stephen you failed. I couldn't get past page four and had no qualms about giving up and closing the book forever. Different strokes for different folks, but I remember when I could not put your books down...a long time ago I know, but you got me longing for the good old days.

Summary: OH WHERE, OH WHERE HAS MY STEPHEN KING GONE
Review: What happend to Stephen King when Stephen King was good. Pet Sematary: now that was a great King book. The Bachman Books are hard to beat. Rose Madder was excellent. But then comes Bag of Bones and this. King has lost his old charm and writing skill in the persuit of something more literary, and it is causing me to stick with his old stuff and other authors. The only reason I finished this book was that I listened to it on audio, and even then it was a struggle. I am a fan of Stephen King, not Jack London. ... it belongs in Young Adult Adventure. Well, I guess I am left to reading the old King and hoping that some day he'll come back in his former glory.

Summary: Not as exciting as I thought it would be.
Review: Not as exciting as I thought it would be - Not like BAG OF BONES, which I thought was his absolute best! None the less, it was good, but not like the scary Stephen King of the past.

Summary: An Easy Weekend Read
Review: A girl lost in the woods, a slightly interesting plot. But hardly the kind of thing that you would come to expect from King. However, that aside, the book contains a feel of actually being in the childs place and makes these woods come alive. The book isn't all that long and should hold your attention enough to finish it at a moderate pace.
Rating:
Summary: Different than King's usual fare
Review: THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON touched my heart, which is a rare occurance for a Stephen King book. He usually just scares the daylights out of me. My husband bought me this book, while getting THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY for himself, and we are both very pleased with this month's purchases from amazon. I will never forget DESPERATION, or IT, or NEEDFUL THINGS, and will never forget THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON, but for different reasons.
