Audience: Adult Format: Hardcover/Owned Harold opened the door that day to find a dark-skinned man in a well-cut suit smiling at him. - first sentence This book was okay. People start returning from the dead, not coming back from the grave, but just appearing in places all over the world. There ...
So, the concept of The Returned is really interesting. It's actually the reason I chose to read this book in the first place. Imagine if the dead came back. Not as zombies, but as living, breathing people. Just the same as the way they were when they died. As the dead come back, what happens to the ...
A while ago I received an arc of this from goodreads first reads, but didn't really review it. So I thought I would reread it, and review it. The book follows a small town called Arcadia, specifically an older couple(Harold and Lucille Hargrave), as they try to deal with the dead coming back to life...
What would you do if you had a second chance? What would you do if the person you loved returned from the dead? Harold and Lucille Hargrave find themselves facing these very questions when their son returns. Their son, Jacob, died when he was 8. That was 50 years ago. It's hard, but they accept Ja...
In The Returned, the dead have come back to life. This isn't a zombie story, nor is it even a horror novel (the dead return as if they had never left, to the point of returning in the same condition and emotional state they were in when they died).

Harold and Lucille Hargrave are senior citizens now, living their life in quiet, comfortable familiarity. It wasn’t always like that … at one time they were parents of a son. Sadly, on the day they were all celebrating his 8th birthday he wandered off and drowned in the river running through their...
To call this Young Adult will limit the audience, I think. This was fantastic, and so very different from anything else I've read this year. The Returned is a very different book from what I'd usually pick up, but I was intrigued when I read the premise.This book wonderfully explores what would happ...
What if the ones you loved and lost came back? What to feel, how to react, what to do? There is no simple answer, and this isn`t a simple book. Poetry in prose about life and death. It`s more like philosophy than thriller: slow paced and without much fighting and blood. Some are happy, some are angr...
“Something has happened”, he belted out, startling the church. “Something-the cause of which we have not yet been made privy-has happened.” He spread his arms. “And what are we to do? How are we to react? Should we be afraid? …” I, like Cory, am giving this book a 3 star rating even though I DNFed i...
