Summary: One of the best stories Stephen King has told in years.
Review: This book got my attention on the first page, and I could hardly put it down. It is not a work of horror, like most people would expect, but instead it is a well told story.

Stephen King makes you feel like you are in the woods right next to the main character the whole time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A big bore - never finished
Review: Lost me after the first 25 pages. Skimmed about 20 pages more, then gave it back to the library. No dialogue, just thoughts going through a little girls head while she get lost in the woods. Big disappointment...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: True Stephen King creepy!!! I loved it!
Review: The images were so vivid, it was a well told story with feelings anyone can relate to. I have enjoyed Stephen King for years, and he just keeps getting better!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: KING DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!
Review: This short story about a little girl lost in the woods was frightening and wonderfully imaginative. I actually felt as though I was wandering through woods with her!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Please don't tell him he can't do something anymore!
Review: Immediately prior to beginning work on the exquisitely boring Gerald's Game, some one made the mistake of telling King his female characters were "too thin", that he needed to work on rounding them out. Evidently someone made the same mistake and told him his characterizations of female children needed work. Thus, we have The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Like Gerald's Game, it's somewhat pointless. But unlike Gerald's Game, it's actually a neat little package. I'm still unsure if I was turning the pages to see what happened next or turning them ~hoping~ something would happen next, but regardless, it was a page-turner. And while the "monster in the closet" was nature all along, it was a formidable (if invisible) monster. While a departure from what I normally read King for, I enjoyed it. And I hate to admit that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not quite a Stephen King classic. But still a good read.
Review: I read The Little Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, with great expectations. Hoping for another classic like the Shining or The Stand. While i considered it quite good , it just left me wanting a little more at the conclusion. I think Trisha spent too much time in the woods, but not enough at the fringe of the woods where she encounters the beast who has been preying on her.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Er...come on.
Review: A bit of a slowstarter. What a pity

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: quick, lighter. reading.....worth the read
Review: Waterless Cookware!! Pretty good book. Stephen King once again proves that he actually is a very talanted author and not just an oowy-goowy gross out master. I am happy to add this novel to my ever growing King collection, (I have all of his novels but one 'Cycle of the Werewolf'...cant find a first print for the life of me!!). This latest work has again secured me as a lifetime fan, (not 'your number one fan',I'm no psycho!) and I look eagerly forward to future works by Stephen King. Thanx for this book Stephen.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not his best
Review: I'be been a King fan since forever, but lately, I feel his work has been getting a little hackneyed. If you're looking for something with a bit more stimulation for the old cerebral cortex, I'll recommend THE LAST DAY, by Glenn Kleier, which I just finished prior to GIRL/GORDON. It's very unusual and reminds me of the King of old in the way it twists and toys with your mind and keeps you on the edge of your seat till the very last page. A truly frightening and intriguing read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very gripping,Stephen King has done it again!!!!
Review: I wish everyone would read this,I couldn`t put it down,I felt her every emotion.I finished it in one night,that poor girl, how scared she must have been, my own daughter is ten and I thought of her quite a bit while reading this. The ending was great!I can`t wait for more,Stephen King is a great writer.
