The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
I enjoyed greatly. It shows that even a nine year old can use their minds. Good book glad I read it.

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.

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.

One of Stephen King's best. Could not stop turning the pages. It's like your there, taking every step thru the woods.

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.......

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.
