Stephen King's, "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" was not the usual Stephen King book. However, this fairly slowed paced book turned out to be pretty good. The story of a nine-year old, Red-Sox fan, whose favorite player was the closer, Tom Gordon, touched your heart. Trisha gets lost in the woods and summons courage and maturity that many adults don't posses, to find her way out. This book took me about a week to read, however, everday that I picked the book up, i began to like it more and more. When I finished the book I new that it was a good choice to read it. Also, i would reccomend it to anyone looking for a quite-thriller.
