J's Blog of Whatever

I just finished a book called "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" by Stephen King. Yesterday, I watched a movie called "Red Eye". Now I will tell you what I think of these and I will summarize and let you make the decision of taking my opinions to heart or simply reading for entertainment never to take them seriously therefore disappointing me and tuning out the world of suspense forever leaving your life dull and without adventure. Have a nice day.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Stephen King is an amzing writer, and this is an excellent book of his.
The story starts out with a wonderful 9-year-old girl without a wonderful family. Although they love her very much, her parents are divorced and her dad is a daily drunk. He is kind and fair but it hurts Trisha that her dad punishes himself in such a way. Her mother is constantly in arguements with Pete, Trisha's brother. Yet, Trisha is a happy girl with a very smart mind and a compassion for Tom Gordon, a famous baseball player for the Red Sox. When hiking in the woods, Trisha get's tired of her mother and brother's constant bickering and wanders off to do some business. When she finishes, she turns around to find the trail but it is nowhere in sight. The book tells about her adventures in the woods. The good, the bad, the pretty, the scary. From falling down a cliff to touching a butterfly this book is full of adventure and suspense. She tries to follow a stream to safety but bad things start to follow her. Something is making noises in the woods. Something is watching her every move. Something will do whatever it can to get what it wants. Something wants Trisha McFarland.

Red Eye
Wes Craven is an amazing director. This movie is not his average blood and gore. Actually, it lacks that. But it is made up for with suspense. This riveting tale will chill you and thrill you and glue you to your seat. Lisa goes on a plane to go back home after flying to Texas for a funeral, but ends up with much more. The man right next to her thousands of feet in the air wants something and he won't leave er alone until he has it. Much of the suspense takes place on the plane but the rest is on the ground where there are no witnesses. Jack is after a certain family and he needs Lisa to get to them. He threatens her father and it turns into much more. Three people know the truth, Lisa, Jack, and a little girl on the plane. It's a story of brilliance and threat, hiding and finding, and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Conclusion
I highly recommend both of these thrillers.
