Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. Lost in the woods. Trying not to be terrified, trying not to let herself think that sometimes when people got lost in the woods, they got seriously hurt. Sometimes they died.</i> Trisha McFarland has only veered off the trail to get away from the bickering of her brother and recently divorced mother. She doesn't think there's any chance of losing her way. Except, in her panic to get back on the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper into the terrifying woods. At first it's just the midges and mosquitoes, hanging around her ears like helicopters, trying to drink her blood and sip her sweat. Then the hunger. For solace she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon. And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her. As darkness begins to fall, Trisha begins to give up hope of being found. Alive. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises that she's not alone. There's something else in the woods - watching. Waiting... A classic story that engages our emotions at the most primal level. <i>The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon</i> explores our deep dread of the unknown and the extent to which faith can conquer it. Aglow with a girl's indomitable spirit, it is at once a powerful fairytale, an astounding allegory, and a brilliant contemporary portrait of a girl and her sports hero. 1836389 book 1999 The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon total:10611|5:1815|4:2889|3:3607|2:1759|1:541| 10611 35511 12506 548 2 5 false false Fri Sep 21 17:09:06 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 21 17:27:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Fri Aug 15 08:19:13 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 08:36:50 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 1998 Mon Aug 06 14:38:32 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 14:42:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 2 false true Tue Sep 30 22:00:59 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 22:21:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Apr 28 04:24:46 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 05:17:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 20 07:14:39 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 04:47:49 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Dec 10 14:01:51 -0800 2007 Thu Feb 14 21:11:33 -0800 2008

I think this book is the worst one I've read by King, and maybe one of the worst I've ever read, period.
