Publisher's summary

Somewhere in New England, nine-year-old Trisha gets lost in the woods while on a walk with her family. Her only comforts are the radio broadcasts of Boston Red Sox games featuring her favorite player, closing pitcher Tom Gordon. Lonely, frightened, starving, and cold, Gordon becomes Trisha's imaginary companion - and the key to her survival against an unidentified someone (or some thing) leaving death and destruction in its wake.




The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is read by celebrated actress Anne Heche, star of numerous major motion pictures including Return to Paradise and Wag the Dog.

Mr. King's done it again!

Great book and performance. Music was a bit distracting yet didn't interfere with the narration.

Great!

Amazingly written. Never a boring moment. Just pure suspense. And attention to detail. Nothing short of what I expect from Stephan King.

Narrator issue

I found it difficult to understand the narrator. Her voice was not easy to understand.

Very good.

Not Stephen's best, but VERY good nonetheless. Inspirational, agonizing, and spooky at the same time.

Great story

This was a great story. I love Stephen King and he lives up to his reputation of drawing me in. We all are fascinated by the woods and he did an outstanding job of telling a story of survival.

Loved it

Can’t believe I never heard of this book until now. Classic Stephen King. The narration was great except for one glaring error - I wish Anne Heche would have learned the actual tune to the 1-800-54GIANT jingle. Anyone from Boston knows that the tune she was singing was completely wrong! Otherwise the book was entirely entertaining!

The woods

I thoroughly enjoyed the landscape of this book. I was more afraid of the nature involved rather than the creature that was stalking her throughout the story.
