this book sucked.. all it talks about is some stupid girl running around the woods looking for her mommy... it has no story line whatsoever... it seems like king just threw a bunch of random thoughts together and said hey, lets try to make a story out of this. well you failed, sorry.

I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the very end. I just recently began to read books written by Stephen King. This book is my 5th book in 2 months and is my favorite. I read it at every chance and finished it within a few days.

this book was excellent, this was by far the best book i have evr read.. when i was reading it i was there, in the woods with trisha, and that is a very good thing, especially ina book. i could imagine it, not just read it, but picture it in my head. i like that in a book.. thats why i gave it 5 stars!!!!

I could not believe the sense of urgency I felt reading this book! This writer does such a marvelous job of building suspense and keeping you RIGHT THERE with the character. I read the book cover to cover in 2 days and was thinking about it when I WASN'T reading it! I thought it was his best work. He is a master!

After reading the girl who loves Tom Gordon I felt as though I was in this wonderful fairy tale of Trisha's. This book is filled with the fear and the adrenaline rush that contributes to my rating of a 4 out of 5 stars. The story is not too long but compact with many chilling details. I recommend this book to readers who love Stephen King's work, because this by far is his best.

"The Girl who loved Tom Gordon" teaches you to appreciate crappy life, because there is something much worse than that.

you beileves are your beileves but they are not good! I think you better read this over again and see how wrong you were on almost everything!
