The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Summary: Extraordinary
Review: Good heaven's! I'm just to my last few pages of this book but oh boy I dont want to finish it it yet. I just love this one. Bags of bones wasn't so appealing to me. It was more drama than horror. For the last two years I just been reading fierce stephen king. He is the best storyteller ever. He makes you to want to keep waiting for the next one. His characters are outline in a way that's almost like real life your reading about. Stephen king your the best. Don't let any bad reviews from keeping you from making fans happy like me... Take care stephen.

Summary: Only Stephan King could get away with this book.
Review: I'm obviously not alone in my feelings that the book was boring. It really did move too slow. There was no attention getter at the beginning, or the middle now that I think about it. Nothing really happened. The characters were poorly developed. The plot was linear, with no real subplots. A storyline dynamic better suited for a younger reader. If this book had been written by a less popular author it never would have made it to print.

Rating:
Summary: Not a typical S.King book.
Review: I thought the book was good, but not typical King style. It could have been more frightening, and it was drawn out a bit. But I did enjoy spending time with Patricia.

Rating:
Summary: I thought this was more for the younger persons
Review: I enjoyed greatly. It shows that even a nine year old can use their minds. Good book glad I read it.

Summary: Ho Hum for the most part
Review: I can only hope that Mr. King wrote this to make a few bucks until he finishes the next Dark Tower series! I listened to the 4 CD version of this book and after CD #1 and #2, I had to look at the author to make sure it was Stephen King. The last section was great but hardly worth wading through the first 3/4th's of it.

Rating:
Summary: Hellishly intense, both the author and reader made me weep.
Review: Once again, Stephen King has made his point about how an author can make you SEE. While not as long as some of his works, ALL the King focus is present. Together, the author and reader of this story made me weep for this little girl and want to fly to her rescue while at the same time standing in awe of her courage and determination. You know what it was like? It was as if he captured in words the spirit of that woman marathon runner who got within yards of the finish line and just fell, only to get up and stagger across the line an inch at a time as the World watched. Some may bitch about the length of some of his stories and some may bitch about the horror in his stories. Guess what? Life IS horrible a disturbing amount of time. King writes about how the human spirit can stand in the face of such horror. The world is better for his writing.

Summary: This book puts you in the woods, you feel Trisha's fear.
Review: One of Stephen King's best. Could not stop turning the pages. It's like your there, taking every step thru the woods.

Rating:
Summary: A "MUST READ" for any King fan
Review: Although not one of my favorite I enjoyed the book from start to finish.....King is the best in his genre and has with great sucess broken into others... I cannot wait tho for the Dark Tower series to be completed until and well after i will continue to be a loyal fan.......

Summary: Collectors value only
Review: Well, the last few King works have been less than appealing. This one in particular takes a new low...boring. It was an easy read, but what horror is it to us (presumeably adults) that a little girl is lost in the woods. I would have liked to have read more about what was going on with the family of the little girl during her misadventure. This one is best left to the collectors (myself included). Please Steve, more horror like what I read in 'IT', 'CUJO', 'SALEM'S LOT', etc.

Summary: Good book, but I wanted more.
Review: This was truly a great book that amazed me because it certainly wasn't his usual work. It kept me interested, but I wish it was a bit longer! I can't believe it ended when it did. There were a few situations that weren't developed enough (caller with misleading info about Trisha). Otherwise, I really liked it. Suspenseful, and exciting, no doubt!!
