About the Author
My author is Stephen King he has written more than 30 novels one them is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. King started to write, when he was 6 years old. He started to write when Richard Stark was at his desk and the song "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" came on the radio. Stephen King is the father of horror. The first horror book King wrote was Carrie, which was a big success. By the time he was 26 years old King wrote 7 novels! Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine. He has three children, his daughter is a author. For a long time he was not writing because he was in a car crash, he thought his writing career was over but he pushed to write. He is a big Red Sox fan! You probably did not know this but Stephen King has 2 radio stations.He made a video with the world famous Michael Jackson.
Genre
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, is fiction I know this because, a person or "god" could not take other things body or heads . Another reason that this is fiction is because bear's eyes can not turn from crawling with bugs and maggots to normal eyes. The book could also be realistic fiction too. Getting lost in the woulds could happen as well as listening to a walkman or eating berries and fish to survive.
Point of View
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, is realistic fiction I know this because it never happened, but it could happen. Getting lost in the wolds can happen and probably did happen but not with the same person. Drinking the river water is a possibility that someone could drink it and get sick and puking the hole day. I do not think a bear can go from a killing beast to nothing.
