Summary
This is the story of a girl who gets lost on an outing in the Northeast woods. In her panic to get back on the track, she takes turnings which lead her deeper and deeper into the terrifying woods. With only a small amount of food and water in her knapsack, she begins to give up hope of ever getting out. Alive. The only thing that keeps her going is her Walkman on which she listens avidly to Red Sox baseball games, creating an imaginary friendship with her hero Tom Gordon. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises she's not alone. There's something else in the woods, and it's watching her.

Great narrator, easy to follow and one of King's better books. Well worth the listen, I recommend.

the man who loved Tricia's journey!
a really good, involving 6 hour listen, Anne heche nailed the voice of Tricia perfectly and the build up to the final confrontation was well worth the journey!

Not a bad tale
Not Mr Kings best but the narrator does a great job and still an enjoyable tale

Good just not enough jeopardy
What made the experience of listening to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon the most enjoyable?
The performance was good. I like Trisha she was a very brave person, and I felt bad for the situation she was in. I just felt it lacked the sense of jeopardy books like Gerald's Game and Mysery had.
Would you recommend The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend it to my niece, but it's not Kings best book.
Have you listened to any of Anne Heche’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No but she was good. I also like the echoe sound effects. She brought Trisha alive.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The world has teeth, and sometimes it bites.
Any additional comments?
Good listen but not essential.

Underrated
4 Stars
This is a slightly different kind of Stephen King experience for me but, definitely still a good one. The atmosphere of being lost in the woods was well done simultaneously feeling vast yet claustrophobic. Some of the things Trisha did seemed slightly more mature than what I'd imagine the average nine year old would be capable of doing in this situation but King also didn't let us forget that she was just a scared and lonely child who was lost in the woods. I think my favourite thing about this was the fact that you were never quite sure if there were supernatural elements to it or if Trisha's mind was playing tricks on her and the narration was top notch too. Definitely an underrated King novel.
