What if the woods were full of them? And of course they were, the woods were full of everything you didn't like, everything you were afraid of and instinctively loathed, everything that tried to overwhelm you with nasty, no-brain panic.

The brochure promised a "moderate-to-difficult" six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, where nine-year-old Trisha McFarland was to spend Saturday with her older brother, Pete, and her recently divorced mother. When she wanders off to escape their constant bickering, then tries to catch up by attempting a shortcut through the woods, Trisha strays deeper into a wilderness full of peril and terror. Especially when night falls.

Trisha has only her wits for navigation, only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fear. For solace she tunes her Walkman to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox games and …

Raamatut pole eesti keelde tõlgitud. Stiililt on tegu psühholoogilise õudusromaaniga - aga nagu Kingiga ikka, siis on siin raamatus mitmeid hoovuseid. On see siis raamat lapse elust, õudukas, teekonnalugu, matkaraamat või ellujäämisõpik - kõik on õiged variandid.

"The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" suhtes olid mul pikka aega tugevad eelarvamused.

Samamoodi ma ise tean pesapallist natukene küll, aga ilmselgelt on kogu taust puudu, mis näiteks keskmisel ameeriklasel on. Kui natuke ette rutata, siis oli mõnus raamat, natuke tasub pesapalliga seoses netti lapata, aga ega King ise annab ise jooksvalt tausta ka.

Kui natuke sisusse kalduda, siis peategelaseks on üheksa-aastane tüdruk Trisha McFarland, raamat ongi tema vaatenurgast. Veel on taustal kõrvaltegelasteks McFarlandide pere: Trisha neljateist-aastane vend Pete, ema Quilla ja isa Larry. Trisha ema ja isa on lahutatud, lapsed elavadki emaga koos. Kuna …

My favourite book by Stephen King, not like any other book by him that I have read. A book of a young girl trying to survive after walking off the path in the woods and then being stalked by something. It becomes a story of trying to beat the odds and find her way back to civilisation. For a King novel it is pretty short and ya can get through it in a day easily.
