This is actually been difficult for me. On the one hand, I can see why the book gets 5-star ratings. It's clever how the author makes us feel like we have Stockholm syndrome too, makes us feel uncertain and confused about how we feel. Or at least I can see how some people can be unsure of how they f...

1.5/5 starsDNF at 52%. One word--disappointed. A book about a girl who gets kidnapped and suffers through Stockholm Syndrome? Sounds interesting, or so I thought. The premise was intriguing, and it made me so excited to read the book. When I did pick up this book, boy, was I disappointed.In short, t...

Not quite sure how I am feeling after reading, Stolen. Maybe like I could be possibly suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Yeah. Confused for sure.

Opening Line: "You saw me before I saw you."...would be how I’d describe STOLEN. A very different sort of read that would make a good book club choice because of all the symbolism and emotions the reader is left with in the end, not all of which are comfortable. I found myself suffering from Stockho...

Stolen had a great plot and nice characters but with lack of characterization and also the format used somehow did not do justice to such a beautiful plot. Writing (or typing) a letter of about 300 odd pages (continuously without break) did not make much sense according to me. That too the writing w...

My actual rating is somewhere between 3 and 4 but it's constantly changing so... I really don't know.This was an extremely difficult story to read. I'm still p...

You can find more of my reviews (plus discussions and giveaways) at Christina Reads YA. I can't write this review in my usual format. This book doesn't really have the usual linear plot, so its pacing is different than most, and while it has some other characters, it's really about Ty and Gemma an...

Great book! The ending was irritating, though.
