This book was, in some spots, quite humorous but I was kind of dissapointed at the end when the "big scary monster" was <<edited for potential plot spoiler content>>. Thats why i gave it a three it kept my intrest long enough for me to read it to the end but the ending wasn't all the great. i wouldn't reccomend this book to anyone who likes a good horror book i thought it was going to be scary since i saw his name on this book thats the main reason why i got it i have to write a book report about this book and i'm going to have to present it to the whole class and i'm pretty sure the whole class is going to fall asleep by the time i ginish telling them about this book

its an alright book
Dan H (11/11/04)

This is a amazing novel which can be related to by many young adults. Its probably not a book for children under 12.

jimmy you would be the one sure to have your gps after reading this one!

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.
Jimmy (10/16/04)

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!

Actually, the book isn't that scary at all... but I can say that its a good thing to read though.
