this book was excellent, this was by far the best book i have evr read.. when i was reading it i was there, in the woods with trisha, and that is a very good thing, especially ina book. i could imagine it, not just read it, but picture it in my head. i like that in a book.. thats why i gave it 5 stars!!!!

I could not believe the sense of urgency I felt reading this book! This writer does such a marvelous job of building suspense and keeping you RIGHT THERE with the character. I read the book cover to cover in 2 days and was thinking about it when I WASN'T reading it! I thought it was his best work. He is a master!

I am only 11 years old. My mom really enjoys reading Stephen King, so one day I asked her if I could read one to see what I thought about it. She let me read "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon." I finished reading this book last week, and I regret I haven't started reading Stephen King since I was 2. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon has comical parts, horror aspects, and even dramatic moments. I suggest for anybody who can read to read this book. I'm currently reading "Rose Madder" by Stephen King, and I love it. READ THIS BOOK!!!!

This is a great book! i couldnt put it down. S.K keeps you up wondering whether or not shes going to make it even through the night. i found this exciting and entertaining and even at some points humerous. its by far the best stephen king book ive ever read.
