Summary: Stephen King Hits A Homerun!
Comment: This is the chilling,gripping,wonderfully told story of Trisha McFarland.
Trisha is nine years old,but big for her age. While on a hike with her mother and brother,who are having,one,long,continuous argument,Trisha decides she needs a break. When nature calls,she steps off the path and this is where the chilling fun and games begin.
Realizing she is lost,off she sets to find her way back to her family. After a disasterous occurence,she gets some good news when she makes the discovery that her walkman is in perfect shape. She listens in on the Boston Red Sox game and finds her lifeline,in the shape of her favorite releif pitcher,Tom Gordan,whom she also has a teeny crush on.
We follow Trisha through her journey back to civilation. Along the way,she makes some disturbing and heart-stopping discoveries. Someone or something is trailing her,ready to pounce at any moment.
Hurt and sick,Trisha draws on an inner strength to not live,but survive. All the while,Tom is there,encouraging and guiding her,until her ultimate showdown,with what she has come to know as,The God of the Lost.
Short enough to be read in one sitting and compelling enough,as well,The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordan will keep you glued to your seat and your eyes fastened to the page.

Summary: Brought me back into the fold!
Comment: I used to read a lot of Stephen King's novels. In fact, "The Stand" remains my favorite novel of all time. But I quit reading him in 1993 after I read "Gerald's Game"- too gross and scary for me. I felt forced to finish it against my will because when I stopped I kept having horrible imaginings and dreams about how it would end. I feared my imaginings might be worse than the book's own ending so I begrudgingly and fearfully finished it, but I swore that I would not read anymore King. I turned to the less frightening (and often less interesting) "literary fiction" section of the bookstore and have been happily buried there for much of the last 7 years. Then I unexpectedly caught site of this little book at the check-out aisle at the grocery (a place where I had never previously purchased a book). Hit with a burst of nostalgia for my previous fondness for the author of my favorite book, I tossed it on the counter. I read this book in a single night and yes, I was scared. But, I remembered that I like that! Also, my years away made me realize what a fantastic writer he truly is. His characters and stories are the best of the best. Since then I've been making up for lost time, reading (and listening to and downloading) all the Stephen King I can find. Long Live the King!

Summary: She was a lost girl who had no hope until she met Tom Gordon
Comment: The book "The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon" written by Stephen King was the kind of book you couldnt put down! It was awesome. Its about a girl who goes hiking in the woods with her family and they constantly agrue and she had to use the bathroom really bad so she went in the woods without telling her mom or brother,and when she was done she was LOST! for several days and ran into some unusal things. This is the book that you wonder "whats going to happen next?". I would say for everyone to read this book,and this isnt the typical Stephen King book you would have in mind its from a whole different point of view.
