Advantages: Well writtnen, amazing writing that really only contains one character

Disadvantages: Short

Being a younger child I found myself relating to Trisha. She is a young girl, constantly ignored my her mother as she seems only interested in her older brothers problems.

Well, she has had it. And on a family walk, where once again she is roundly ignored, she stops to pee without telling anyone. Here she makes a terrible mistake. Instead of retracing her steps she thinks she can just cut through the trees back to the path.

She is lost.

Some of my favorite works by King are the ones that include essentially one character .. left to their thoughts. It is similar to Gerald's Game. Trisha's only companion is solely in her head, her hero Tom Gordon, that is until she realizes something is following her.

This is a really good read, you can't help cheering Trisha on when she makes a good move, and f when something goes wrong.

Powerful. Well written. Scary. Believable.

Summary: A really good book with a herione you can't help falling in love with
