The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by John Escott

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (1999) is a psychological horror novel by American writer Stephen King.

Another great Stephen King story. I really felt his portrayal of Trisha was spot on. It felt real and you really understand her feelings, actions and emotional state throughout her ordeal. Highlight recommended.

the ending just felt a little anticlimactic but otherwise, i was hooked!

i was hoping to cry but it didn't hit me that hard.

Holy hell. What a wild ride. I was sitting on the roof of my house with traffic from the road in the background and still got chills. I just don't understand why this book has poor reviews. Apart from being rich with description that just bursts forth from each page, this is a close look into the mind of someone clinging to sanity by a thread, a brave experiment by Stephen King to get inside the terrified mind of a child losing her grip on reality.

Well Trisha is a boss that's for sure!
Another great King read and a really enjoyable quick story line, you'd think a 200+ page book with only one character lost in the woods (she's 9 years old) would be boring but as always King builds complex interesting characters.
Providing yet again King can write any genre he puts his mind to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a SOLID ⭐⭐⭐⭐
