  Per chi avesse la versione di questo romanzo già tradotta, ritengo che la lettura del finale in lingua originale sia necessaria.

  Pag 212-213
  "Ttrisha slowly transferred the cap to the hand with the IV needle in it. She looked at her father as she did it, making sure he was looking at her. She was tired. Soon she would sleep. But not yet. Not until she had said what she had to say.
  He was watching, watching closely. Good.

  "Ttrisha slowly transferred the cap to the hand with the IV needle in it. She looked at her father as she did it, making sure he was looking at her. She was tired. Soon she would sleep. But not yet. Not until she had said what she had to say.
  He was watching, watching closely. Good.
  She reached across her body with her right hand, never taking her eyes from her father, because he was the one who would know; if he understood, he would translate.
  Trisha tapped the visor of her cap, then pointed her right index finger up at the ceiling.
  The smile which lit his face from the eyes down was the sweetest, truest thing she had ever seen. If there was a path, it was there. Trisha closed her own eyes on his understanding and floated away into sleep.
  Game over."

  This is one of my favorite books of all time. NOT typical scary, gory Stephen King. My interpretation is that the girl finds God in the wilderness. I enjoyed it immensely...highly recommended!

  This was incredible. I can't believe how mature she becomes and how she manages to remember little snippets of things her parents have told her in order to survive. Such a shocking realisation of the things you have to do to stay alive. I was close to tears when I reached the last page.

  I bought this book is because of Tom Gordon, the pitcher of Red Sox. At that time I kind of like Red Sox. Mainly because Boston is the first big city that I travelled overseas. I like Boston, the friendly atmosphere, the place where liberty starts to grow.

  I bought this book is because of Tom Gordon, the pitcher of Red Sox. At that time I kind of like Red Sox. Mainly because Boston is the first big city that I travelled overseas. I like Boston, the friendly atmosphere, the place where liberty starts to grow.

  This books is a *light* novel for Stephen King, comparing to his other thriller books. The story is about a girl, who missed in the woods, trying to seek a way out. The only thing accompany with her is a Sony Walkman, linking her to the real world with a broadcast of baseball game.

  I think this is a light one because normally Stephen King's books are weighted over 500 pages. This book is only 200+ pages. That's really light. Also the intensity of thriller is much lower than others.

  After all, even the light flavor may not cause SK fans' attention, it is still a very good novel for younger people, or who are beginners of Stephen King's world. It's light, and it's smooth to taste.
