Evaluation Out Of Books The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. This was a little different than the other King books i've read but still quite enjoyable. A 9 year old city girl, fighting for survival after straying off a trail path ,her mother and brother bickering yet again and to distracted to notice her gone. This book focused on fear, imagination, things that go bump in the night with a twist of the supernatural. The visual imagery King uses makes you feel like you yourself are

A solid effort from King that is worth a read.



I missed the greatness of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon the first time I read the book. Then, I decided to give the book another go since I hardly remembered the book. That was a wise move. Every step of the way of the book I was with Trisha as she tried to find her way back to civilization. I walked with her, I slept by her side, I suffered with her; I felt her pain when she was sick and hurt and I was with her the moments she listened to the radio, her only joy. She is only nine years old

I enjoyed this book so much more on re-reading. I feel sometimes the pull of (over) expectation can weaken a book's impact on first read... well it did for me..A nine year old girl gets lost in the New Hampshire woods, this is her simple yet captivating story about whether she can survive, and how her Red Sox hero Tom Gordon can help her!.Such a simple idea - child lost in the woods - made into something a lot more by King..8 out of 12 ...I gave this book 4 out of 12 on first reading!!!

I remember reading a couple of chapters of this when I was really really young, I think my sister must have been reading it. Therefore this has been on my to read list forever and I wasnt disappointed. My only downside is that if it wasnt stated she was nine, then I would have believed the character was 13/14 at the least. I didnt know half the things she knew when I was nine and thought it was a bit unbelievable she was so young. None the less this was a gripping read and Im going to tick the

Warning: Don't Get Skulled........Being stranded in the mosquito infested woods of the Appalachians is no fun for nine year old Trisha McFarland. With visions of The Thing following her and frightening words from The Cold Voice, her love of baseball and Boston Red Sox closer Tom Gordon is her only salvation.This 1999 Stephen King audio adventure (narrated by Anne Heche) is not really scary, but is entertaining with one hell of a final pitch!
