Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Books

Pros: A short and easy read, touching story, a good book to recommend to people who don't like horror
Cons: Though good, there's nothing that particularly stands out about it compared to other books.

This is another book that was made to convince your non-King friends he's
not only about horror. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a fantastic story of hope, survival, and baseball in Southern Maine.

A nine year old girl, traveling with...

Pros: suspenseful
Cons: none

This book is not the usual writings of Mr. King, being long into fine details, which are well needed. This book is a fast read, but real enough to keep you in suspense, and you appetite for more starving. You will ponder several days after reading this...

Pros: quick reading
Cons: too far fetched

I am an avid Stephen King fan (I don't think there is a book he has written that I have not read), and being so, I was disappointed with Stephen King's "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon". I admit I did finish the book and it did not take long,...

Pros: I loved the good descriptions of the woods.
Cons: I didn't like the way he described the bugs.

I loved the good descriptions of the woods and the people that were once around her. Trisha had a lo ...

Pros: The young age of the main character.
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon really made me think about more than just Trisha McFarland being lost in the woods- it made me think about how hard it is for a 9 year-old to deal with her parents' divorce and her brothers negative attitude. She really is ...

Pros: Takes something simple and makes it very frightening.
Cons: It ends a bit soon,not enough at the end.

I loved this book! Even now, months after reading it I will think about it and I still shiver. King transforms us all into this little girl. Lost alone and frightened in the woods. You really feel everything she feels, almost. You can feel the real fear...

Pros: Suspenceful, Well written IT'S STEPHEN KING
Cons: none

For those of you that read Stephen King often, like I do, you know he writes a variety of books, They aren't all just monsters, and ghosts. This one is one of the books that he writes that even non stephen king fans would appreciate. A young girl gets...

Pros: Takes something simple and makes it very frightening
Cons: Ends maybe a bit soon..not enough at the end seemingly no lasting effect on girl

I loved this book! Even now, months after reading it I will think about it and I still shiver. King transforms us all into this little girl. Lost alone and frightened in the woods. You really feel everything she feels...almost. ;) lol
But you can...

Pros: His writing is always beautiful and this book was really great!
Cons: Some parts were a little gory and it had some dirty language.

This book gives you a very good idea of how a nine year old child would react when set in the environment of the woods. Stephen King really shows anyone who reads this book, how a child uses their instincts when they are alone. Stephen King, in all of...

Pros: Entertaining, Scary,
Cons: I think the ending was a little confusing

Ok, now I'm one who will generally read 2 books a year, and it'll take me forever to read them...but this book was awesome. I couldn't put it down! I red this book in about 2 days it was so good. As always with Stephen King books, it plays like a...

Pros: Gripping book, one of his best.
Cons: Couldn't put it down!!

I really enjoyed this book. Having grown up in a wooded area, learning how to get back to civilization was very important. Here, Stephen King shows how a little girl survives on her own, using her imagination and common sense. I was captivated by this...

Pros: Short story and doesn't take long to read.
Cons: Not much of a plot.

Personally I think Stephen King wrote this book just as a quick money-maker. It has basically no plot, just about a girl lost in the woods. Maybe a little scary, but not really. This was definitely not horror, but instead should be listed under...

Pros: quick read
Cons: not what you expect

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King makes you think this is going to be an awesome story. It was not bad, I enjoyed it as a short little read. Compared to most King novels though it did not quit compare. If you needed something to read this...

Pros: Just a pretty good story
Cons: little girls talk like that?

Well, I can't say much about this book without giving it all away, except that I liked it better than I thought that I would. I thought, 'ho hum, boring story about a lost girl in the woods', and yeah, it was about that, and I had been warned about the...

Pros: almost real life adventures, exciting, Excellent lead character
Cons: one event added on the ending would have been nice!

Stephen King really did and excellent job on "The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon". Trisha, the main character, is a young girl who finds herself lost in the woods, scared, alone and away from her family. The frightening story of courage and survival feels...
