The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King

 

My review

  rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is the first Stephen King book I've ever read (where have I been?. TGWLTG was a very engaging and intense read through the most terrifying day in 9 year old Trisha Mcfarland's life. While I enjoyed the novel, I was not very terrified at all. The cover and the expected extremely postive reviews in the first few pages really made it seem like a scare-fest.

The truth is, there was really only one part in the book that made me wince while eating my pancakes. However, the narrator did a great job of describing Trisha's hardships throughout the novel with perfect description, and although she was alone she frequently had other companions that kept dialogue interesting.

Harder to describe still, is the feeling the novel left upon me. I had a great time reading it and will read more Stephen King in the future; nonetheless, there was just an essential ingredient missing that would have made this the perfect read.

I'm thinking I will not do much apart from go to the movies with a friend, homework and workout...and maybe make some new songs. I know quite bland compared to some of your plans! But what can I say? I'm a rapper.
