About this listen

 The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine years old. Trying not to be terrified. Trying not to think that sometimes when people got lost in the woods they got seriously hurt. Sometimes they died. And all because she needed to pee.

This is the story of a girl who gets lost on an outing in the Northeast woods. In her panic to get back on the track, she takes turnings which lead her deeper and deeper into the terrifying woods. With only a small amount of food and water in her knapsack, she begins to give up hope of ever getting out. Alive. The only thing that keeps her going is her Walkman on which she listens avidly to Red Sox baseball games, creating an imaginary friendship with her hero Tom Gordon. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises she's not alone. There's something else in the woods, and it's watching her.

If you are like me and really enjoy a good narration, skip this book. It grated on my nerves through out and was a constant distraction.

A touching story of little girl lost really has you rooting for her survival. King has mastered the art of harnessing the weakness of humans and making the natural appear supernatural. I would recommend this book to anyone with parents and to young adults. Heche’s vocals did the story justice.

A fantastic read

The story itself is amazing and one you could lose yourself in, but the narrator was somewhat left to be desired. The audio effects used were serviceable, but the rest was lack-lustre.

I thought at the start. I've no idea about baseball. I kept on going and what a story I was told.
