I'm not normally a thriller-lover - I find them a little too cliched or the pacing is off - either too fast or too slow, and finding something in between can be difficult. But I did enjoy April Henry's The Night She Disappeared when I read it last year, and Girl, Stolen sounded interesting - after a...
A strong, compelling read. Henry's prose is clean and uncluttered -- she has faith in her story and she just plain tells it. We learn on page 3 that the main character is blind. We also learn that she's being kidnapped in a car-theft gone bad. I was *very* skeptical when I realized this was the prem...
I needed a book to finish my 2012 Contemporary Challenge and I saw this one sitting on my self so I picked it up. I wasn't sure what to expect really. I didn't know if I would feel bad for Cheyenne, how helpless she may be, if I would be angry at the kidnappers. I just jumped in with both feet and I...
I was told by one of my 6th grade students that this was a good book and that I should read it so I did. The cover was intriguing and that was how it got off the shelf in the first place and also, who would steal a car with a teenage child in the back. While reading, I really thought that Cheyenne d...
This was a good young adult read. Although it was a crime against a teenager, Ms. Henry kept the book very clean. It was well written and contained little actual "crime", no really bad language, no sex..just a well written book.
I admit that GIRL, STOLEN didn't immediately catch my eye. It wasn't until a few trustworthy sources recommended it to me that I really gave it a second thought... The description was, for lack of a better term, cheesy. Luckily, my friends are wise and convinced me to to set aside my first impressio...
Couldn't put it down while I was reading it and couldn't remember why I was reading it when I eventually did.The book is a quick and very easy read that has some great suspense twists and turns that make the book, but over all there was little substance and a lot of potential was left untapped.
Two things particularly impressed me about this book. First, the blind protagonist's voice. There are dozens of little details that gave me the experience of not seeing, if you will, the world through Cheyenne's eyes. Second, the ending. While the major plot points are resolved in a lovely, satisfyi...
I liked the alternating perspectives of abductor & victim, and the pacing was just right. The moral gray areas in the development of Griffin's character lead to interesting situations when he realizes that he's in over his head. Overall a good teen thriller that takes place entirely outside of sc...
