Chyba mój pierwszy King, a zarazem najmniej dziwny (a może? Nie mam jeszcze porównania). Dziewczyna gubi się w lesie, idzie cały czas przed siebie i poznajemy historię jej zagubienia w lesie. Dosłownie książka drogi. Można się czegoś dowiedzieć o przetrwaniu w lesie lub tego czego nie robić jak się człowiek zgubi poza szlakiem (najlepiej ruszać z miejsca XD).
Nie jestem fanem bejsbolu, ani się na nim nie znam. Mam nadzieję, że ta gra nie będzie dalej mnie prześladować, ale wymagałoby to pewnie ograniczenie czytania tekstów osadzonych w Ameryce. Może kiedyś zacznę rozumieć te porównania na bardziej niż podstawowym poziomie.
I na koniec — fajna przyjemna lektura, polecam przesłuchać darmowy fragment na audiotece (lub ich yt) i zdecydować czy warto.

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2
Book 14/30
After sitting on it for over a month, I think I'm going to chalk this one up to being the wrong book at the wrong time for me. When I do my eventual Full Stephen King Re-Read™ I'm hoping I will enjoy it more. (This won't be for ages. I've still got about half his back catalog to go the first time around.)
I was telling myself the story of this book before writing this review, and it all sounded great, to be honest. I still don't know why my attention couldn't really snag on it. It's so small! I've read Stephen King books in less time that were l i t e r a l l y four times its size. I even tried the audiobook and that didn't help because it was an older production, and Anne Heche wasn't a great choice for narrator.
This is a survivalist story with strong horror elements. Our main character is Trisha, who loves baseball, and loves Tom Gordon, the relief pitcher for the Red Sox. On a hike with her bickering mother and brother, she becomes lost in the woods and must survive until she can find her way back to civilization. She uses her Walkman and Tom Gordon as a sort of guide, as she can pick up the current Red Sox game on the radio. The book is split into "innings" which I thought was clever. It has a satisfying ending.
It just didn't catch me, for whatever reason. Rating it three stars for now, but it's really just a placeholder rating. It deserves more.
[3.5 stars]
