Not exactly reading fare for a 7 year old reviewer! Excellent psychological plot, with plenty of suspense, action and twists and turns. One of Stephen King's often overlooked truly exceptional reads. Adults will understand the mindset of the resourceful, imaginative 9 year old heroine of the book. Immensely enjoyable.

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.
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.

i found the book exciting and a very clear view into a child's mind when she gets lost in the woods. i reccomend this book for everyon e who loved a good horror/adventure novel. enjoy!
Black Dog

King speaks to the fact that we are ALL alone. In the end, we die as we were born, and as we have really lived: alone. King captures that feeling beautifully, and counters it with a hope so simple and pure as to be inspirational.

5 out of 5, 'cause they won't let me give it a 6.

How intense. Now go spend a few nights in the forest by yourself and let your imagination run wild.....
