The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Stephen King
"I wanted to read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King because he's a renowned horror author and I thought it'd be a definite good read.
The book is about this little girl; she has family problems. They go on a hiking trip. She literally goes off the trail to use the bathroom, and when she gets done she's separated from her family. She also has this thing for this guy named Tom Gordon; he's a baseball player. So she ends up seeing him in the woods that she's in, and he guides her and kind of befriends her, keeps her company, etc., etc., while she's out in these woods.
The things I liked about the book was -- is this, this element that she comes into contact with, it's unknown actually; you don't know until the end of the story. It terrorizes her by leaving her ghastly images to look upon -- she's a little girl -- haunts her throughout the night, follows and tracks her, etc., etc. That's about the majority of what I liked about book. The thing I didn't like -- I'm gonna say the thing I loathed and hated about the book was the ending. It was pathetic. It was a letdown, it was -- it's a complete letdown because they build you up, they build you all the way up to this ending, and it's like, "That's it? Aw, man, I'm disappointed." I was completely disappointed.
But all the books I read of his, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was the worst. I did not like the ending. It was really, I was really let down; I wouldn't recommend it. Out of five stars, I'd give it -- I'd give it one, 'cause I'm not gonna read it again, and I've read different books over. I'm gonna read that again. It's not worth me reading again."
