Summary: Not the best, but not the worst
Review: Mr. King has given us an interesting new character who isn't so besieged as yet with adult horrors as to be beyond her years, but is just beginning to be adult enough to understand that the world is not as rosy as "grown-ups" would have us believe. Fascinating character study, and again (as in Gerald's Game) the themes of isolation and what the mind will do when left to its own devices. The "villain" in this story is not as horrific as usual, which was a welcome departure from previous works which have had a little too much "fantasy" in them. Almost believable, which I have to say is a fabulous quality in a Stephen King novella.

Summary: I thought this book was excellent and very insightful.
Review: Steven King is the best. His spiritual insightfullness is astounding. He is so in tune with the spiritual world as was his book "Desperation." I felt I was right there with Trisha in the woods. He makes it so real and the content wasn't violent or vulgar, but just as powerful in a different way without it.

Summary: Another Excellent Work by the Grand Master of Terror!
Review: The first thing that struck me about this book was its length--I can't remember the last time King published a novel this short. But what it lacks in length it amply compensates for in characterization and suspense, proving that a writer doesn't have to write a gazillon pages in order to captivate you! I enjoyed the way that the story revolved around a child--King has always excelled at depicting children who are facing great adversity. Another horror writer I've discovered who's good at this is Brandon Massey, who wrote a book titled Thunderland. I encourage King fans to check it out. Thanks, Mr. King, for another winner!

Summary: Different, but just as riveting!!!!
Review: When I picked it up, I first noticed how short it was. But once I got into it, that didn't matter. This was probably one of the best King books that I have read in a long time. And it being so different from the rest of King's books, is really what made it so gripping. Through King's plot developing, I was pulled into the story and felt evrything that Trisha felt. Her pain, her sorrow, her fear, and most importantly, her joy. I was so hooked, that I read this book in one day. If anyone out there is loking for a good, exciting read, please read "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon."

Summary: Interesting and Intelligent Look at Being Lost in the Woods!
Review: This book exemplifies King's ability to thoroughly develop and interact with his characters. By the end of the book, King had brought me to the point where I really cared about what became of Trisha. The story was not as exciting or imaginative as some of Stephen King's other tales, but the book was still very entertaining considering it was 90% monologue. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great character novella (also it is easy and entertaining reading for the beach or poolside).

Summary: It is just a book about a little girl lost.
Review: I am an avid fan of Mr.King's but this was not one of his better books. It was just a book about a little girl lost in the woods. Come on Stephen, you can do much better.

Summary: Hits a home run!
Review: King at his best, as a great story-teller. Are fans aware that they can get the personal, playfun side of King on STRANGER THAN FICTION! (the Wrockers- a bunch of singing authors!!!), the new CD?????

Summary: It's certainly worth a try!
Review: I will admit first of all that I am not a King fanatic, though I do enjoy much of his work. Usually I am turned off by his gratuitous violence which is thankfully not present, and his profanity which is minimal in this book. This was a good story, though the beginning was uninteresting and the end awful. The middle got progressively better until I could feel my own pulse race and I began to truly get jumpy, but one can sense in the last four "chapters" the plot winding down. The last two are like King just got sick of it and decided to slop something off to make it appear like an ending. It was horribly contrived, formulaic, melodramatic and boring. But don't let the last few pages discourage you from reading it! Overall it is a pretty good book, short enough to read and finish just in your spare moments, and creepy in some places. I would really I guess give it three and a half stars. Try it, you might like it.

Summary: WOW!!
Review: I could not put the book down, King has done it again. I felt like I was lost in the woods. Great story of personal survival and dealing with what nature has to offer. READ THE BOOK King fans you won't be sorry

Summary: Banishing Darkness
Review: A totally absorbing novella that pays homage to Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. Instead of a smile carved into a waxen bullet, we have a transistor radio and a determined pitcher. Brilliant!
