Taken Paperback – December 8, 2009

I’msa bored and I need at least twenty words to submit this review for a prize which I get now

The idea of the book is quite interesting. In a futuristic world where the gaps between "poor" and "rich" are wider than ever (doesn't seem so futuristic when you think about it) a new business is flourishing - kidnapping children. This business is so established that the rich kids are well trained on how to behave in these circumstances... The book starts with the heroine being "taken" and uses flashbacks to her past to explain the situation.The book is interesting and easy to read. I enjoyed it, but my criticism is about the ending which is too sweet / too good to be true.

This book received wonderful reviews when it came out, and I like the author's "Tangerine" a lot, so I thought this story would be equally insightful, with equally sympathetic characters. Not so. The characters aren't really sympathetic, the setting (the future) isn't really depicted in believable detail, and the plot is weak.

School assignment
