Summary: Amazing
Comment: I loved this book. It is not one of King's back-breaking, eye-strainig 800+ page book. It is a breath of fresh air. It follows the lines of a classic horror movie where you're not sure if the mosnter is real or not. It is saturated in lovely symbolism and addresses issues like religion and self realization. You actually begin to love the main character. As a warning, this is not your typical overly-words, pedantic King. This gets straight to the point and is a very fast read, but worth reading more than once. One of my favorite books, ever!

Summary: Change
Comment: I believe that Steven King went out in a entirely differnt limb on the book 'The Girl Who loved Tom Gordon'. It is beyond his normal supernatural thrillers. Even though it deals with an issue that has been replayed many times...the story of someone lost in the woods and their quest to find rescue, it is still filled with action and suspense which makes you want to continue. The only piece involved in the book which botherd me throughout the novel was his characterization of Trisha (the main character). She is supposed to be a 9 year old girl. Although the knolege she has in the situations she is presented with do not account for a nine year old. That is in no way a reason not to read the book. It just is a part that I found oddly made and if she had been older than possibly the book would have been more realistic. He also seems to try to make it like a non-fiction book mixed with one supernatural "thing" that occures throught the book, which doesnt really go together but it at least throws in some extra intrest to the reader. I would recommend this book since it isnt that long especailly for a King novel and it is well written even if its a story that has a predictable ending.

Summary: Sparse plot.
Comment: I read Stephen King because Stephen King spins a wonderful yarn. I don't think that this novel represents what the majority of Stephen King fans (like me!) expect when they buy one of his books. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if it had been a short story instead of a novella. The material (plot) is too thin for the number of pages it fills....and the target audience seems to be smaller than that of the usual Stephen King novel.
