A superb short story, allthough not Kings best work. - By: A. Auburn, 22 Mar 2008 
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is such a short book; it cannot even be described as a novel. It is a story, not demanding alot from the reader but a superbly written & suspenseful story.
I found this book quite tiresome for about 70 pages at the beginning. It begins in such a conventional, unoriginal way without much action. But just as i was about to put this book down, it got seriously good. You start to find yourself get more & more pulled into Trisha's story, sympathizing with her & becoming attached.
One thing that I was hoping for was a more psychological point of view, drawing on the relationship between Trisha & her father & mother more, but I don't think psychology was the intention for this story.
I didn't give this book 5-stars because it didn't blow me away like some of Kings other work, & I don't think he put his whole effort into writing this but it was well worth reading alll the same.
One of my favourite Stephen King Books - By: Tamianne, 17 Jan 2008 
I reallly loved this book. It's creepy but isn't reallly horror which doesn't bother me because I think I would love Stephen King's writing whatever genre he wrote. In fact this is one of the reasons why I particularly like this book as it isn't disturbing or gory.
The book has a simple but solid plot with a proper ending. The main character is endearing & the setting is wonderfully described.
I reallly recommend this book, particularly if you are new to Stephen King & put off by the fact that he is known as a horror writer.
Best King book in years - By: Ricky B, 16 Nov 2007 No there is no plot, not much horror but it is story telling at it uttermost best. Well done Mr King!
Insipid - By: J. M. Salinas, 30 Aug 2007 
It's not horror.
It doesn't have a plot.
It is predictable.
Ok if you have nothing to do for a few hours in the airport. Certainly not one of King's best.
A little book, a little hero and a great story - By: Maciej K., 28 Jul 2007 Stephen King can write a thriller about virtuallly anything - we alll remember the one which happened mostly in one locked car & another one in which a guy is chained to a bed for the whole long story. Here we have a little girl lost in the woods of Maine, who is roaming lonely for days in the wilderness. Seems dull? Well, my dear friends, you are soooooo wrong! I am not revealing you anything but I finished reading this book walking, because I just couldn't seat still during the last pages! Amazing little book, which you can swalllow in one evening - & then make some nice nightmares during the rest of the night!
