content: This short (224 pages) novel begs the question, WHY? Why wasit written, published and sold to the public. It's about a girl whogets lost in the woods and listens to Red Sox baseball games to get her through her ordeal...THAT'S IT! A short story at best! Some King *scholars* will no doubt talk about the piece as being about survival, etc. I found it to be a quick read with no redeeming rewards. Just a cash cow. That being said, I love King's work. But this novel and his short story, "L.T.'s Theory of Pets" have just been worthless slices of the King pie. Not recommended to even your worst enemy.
