Language, self-talk, and some decisions made are far fetched for the age of the protagonist. Hence the low rating. It would have been a 4-5 star all day if there was continuity there.
Haven't read hardly any Stephen King, as I'm not into horror. I was given this so would not have read it otherwise.
It is not to bad, there is not much suspense, just a general feeling of unease and disquiet that the little girl feels and she stumbles through the woods and into more and more danger.
It is not a fully believable story as I do not think a nine year old would last that long alone.

Hadn't read this in years. I remember liking it well enough back then.
After all this time, it's a pretty middle of the road King novel. A quick and easy read.

Satisfying book
Unbelievable. This book is completely unbelievable. It’s ridiculous and dated and silly. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be scary or suspenseful but it really wasn’t much of either one. The style was simplistic and child like. The book reminded me of “The Grapes of Wrath” in that it offered up one awful event after another. It’s prose DID NOT remind of of Steinbeck, however, as it was written at eighth grade level. Stephen King is hit or miss and I’d classify this offering as a miss.

A bit different than usual Stephen King books.
Follows a 9yr old girl trying to survive the wilderness after getting lost.

Charming and engaging story with some pretty scary stuff on the edges of it.
