Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Jimmy
The book went on and on about the same thing. The plot became dull and without suspense when all that was talked about for 100 pages was how she was in the forest and the bacic problems you would regurally find, girl gets lost in forest and goes insane, found talking to Tom Gordon and sick, the End. The story was missing a lot, it did not make me scared and was not tuching. Not scary...not good. I'm just a 7 year old who hates that book!

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Fil
Actually, the book isn't that scary at all... but I can say that its a good thing to read though.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Alana
King writes with in-depth description which makes you feel as if you were living in the book. A wonderful book and definitely worth the read.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Diego Chavez
The book The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Is a great book it gives the reader twists and turns that they don't expect. The way that Stephen King writes books is an amazing work of art. This book got a thumbs up with me.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Patty
I had just finished reading this book in class, and found it quite enjoyable. It is not as scary as any of the other Stephen King books, which I am quite happy about (I am not big with horror books), and, in my opinion, is easy to keep one's interest in. Stephen King uses some interesting vocabulary to keep a reader's interest, although some of his descriptions were at times quite random. I was hooked onto this book as soon as I read the first sentence...but I'd better not start before I give away the entire book.
