Stephen King ,The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Review

Overall Rating

Ingenious paper work, an excellent adaption of the story.

This is going to sound finickety but the artwork was a shoddy in places.

Stephen King ,The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon - This, as far as I know, is only available on import in Borders. It was a healthy £16.99, about the average you'd pay for one of his hardbacks if you're a collector, and believe me, this is a collector's item. The paper work is ingenious, from the removable faces of the creepy shrouded things to the beautiful, moving shooting stars, this whole thing screams ingenuity.
As I said, being finnickety, the illustration could have been better in some places. It's not necessarily that it was so bad, more that it's not the kind of illustration you would expect for a Stephen King book. Story-wise, I haven't actually read the story because it is abridged in this pop-up version, and I have so many books on my reading pile that I haven't got round to reading the original story. As far as I know, it's about a girl who is obsessed with her favourite baseball player, Tom Gordon, stop me if I'm wrong (I know nothing about baseball and I'm not American), she gets lost in the woods and starts having what may or may not be crazy delusions.
To be fair, I did just buy this for collector reasons, but it is a work of art.
