J'ai mis du temps à être convaincue par ce livre, mais finalement, il m'a eue. Je reste convaincue que Trisha a été particulièrement stupide de marcher autant au lieu de rester près du lieu où elle avait perdu son chemin. Je soupçonne que le fait d'être moi-même une petite soeur m'ait aidée à m'identifier au personnage.

Girl gets lost in woods. Was engaging because it was written by Stephen King.

A quick, enjoyable read about a nine-year-old girl who gets lost in the woods and her incredible will to live. Of course, it wouldn't be a King book without an evil presence shadowing her.

Young girl steps off the trail in a Stephen King story. You know it's going to be a hard road back to safety.
The MC of this book is a 9 year old girl who gets separated and then lost on the Appalachian Trail. Fine story, but a bit unrealistic in dialogue and in the MCs knowledge. I had a hard time remembering this girl was 9, the internal dialogue and knowledge seemed well beyond what a 9yo would know. I think the story would have worked a bit better of she was a smidge older.
Im British so I have no idea how baseball works who how popular it may be. But I loved this book nevertheless. I just found it a beautifully told story and quite sweet and I was hoping it would have a happy ending...considering its written by a horror writer I was a bit apprehensive about the end...but I was satisfied how it ended.
A slow moving, smoothly written, easy read. I’m not quite sure what I was expecting from my first Stephen King, but it wasn’t this.
King did an amazing job of getting in the head of a 9-year-old girl. Nothing felt false to me. The plot was not in the least bit scary, which did surprise me. I’m a big baseball fan, so I liked the nine-inning format and the main character’s use of baseball to distract herself, and the ending was well done.
