Title: King strikes out with "Tom Gordon".
Review: "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was an okay novel. As an avid reader of Stephen King, I bought this book with great expectations. Being lost is one of my biggest fears and if anyone can put this into words, Stephen King can right?....WRONG! This book would have been so much better if it was written as a short story. King spent too much time with lame explantations and not enough time on things such as "The God of The Lost." The book was too reality based, although it picked up toward the end. My suggestion for any potential readers of this book is to skip the entire middle of the book; read the very beginning and the very end (Top of the First and Bottom of the Ninth). The middle of the book could best be described as "The Girl Scout Camping Survival Guide." A definite disappointment Mr. King.
