Marissa

I have always loved Stephen King's work but, "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was one of his best. I would recomend it to anyone who loves the end of their seat.
Before I read this book I thought it was hard for me to survive in high school but, I had another thing coming. This book helps you appriciate your kitchen faucet, and every french fry you have ever digested.

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

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.

I liked this book because it was really thrilling and really weird. Although in some spots it got a little to weird. It had a little room for improvement so I gave it a 4.
James

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.
