| Girl, Stolen by April Henry Pages: 213 Released: Sept 28, 2011 |
Summary: Cheyenne is sitting in the backseat of her mother's car while her mother goes into the pharmacy. Its only been five minutes and her mother has already returned. The door slams louder than usual and Cheyenne smells cigarettes--it's definitely not her mother. She realizes the car is being stolen and she has no way of escaping... because for the past three years, Cheyenne has been blind. Who will save Cheyenne?
My Thoughts: So much happens in a 200 page book!
What I liked: I loved everything about the Cheyenne's character, she was intelligent, cunning, brave, strong, and independent. And I loved to hate the bad guys--they were brutal and actually bad bad-guys. A lot of unexpected things happened in this book and I loved every part of it. The situations in this book are very realistic and the writing really drew me in. She really lets us experience the mindset of a blind person and what the way that they experience things.
What I disliked: The first few chapters are a bit slow, but it really picks up after.
Conclusion: So glad I picked this book up!
4.5/5 stars

ReplyDelete@Jessica NP :) It's a pretty quick read it.
ReplyDeleteGirl, Stolen is really amazing! I devoured the book in one-sitting. The story is fast-paced thrilling and heart-gripping. Even though I constantly feared for Cheyenne's safety, I remained hopeful for her survival.
ReplyDelete@SverigeO gosh me, too. I thought her struggle was scary at times and I was definitely on the edge of my seat.
