'Stolen' Lucy Christopher

Hi! So I started this book 'Stolen' yesterday afternoon and finished it this morning. I read quite fast, but for some reason I could not put this down. Its quite hard for me to write about this book, since its a very good book, but I did not enjoy reading it. Anyway, I will get into that more later, but here is the blurb:

IT HAPPENED LIKE THIS.
I was stolen from an airport. Kidnapped. Taken from everything I knew, everything I was used to. Imprisoned by sand and heat, dirt and danger. And he expected me to love him.
This is my story. A letter to my captor.

If you want to find this book in a bookshop, this is the cover I read it from.

 

But there is another cover which is like this:

 



I found this book very difficult to read. Not in the sense of the words were particularly hard, but the story line made me very sad. Its about a 16 year old girl, and she is kidnapped by a man who apparently has been stalking her for 6 years. Now I know what you are thinking. What a creep. But as the story goes on, I found myself loving him, as he is a confused, alone man, who wanted company of the girl he loved and didn't know how else to get it.  I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it.

The reason I read it so quickly, was because yes, it was very gripping and a very good book. But I wanted to read it so I could finish it, and then stop thinking about it. But I didn't. It didn't end like I wanted it to, and it made me sad. I don't know what more I can say without running the whole book, so I think you should go and read it!!

I think what makes this book different, is that you don't really understand your feelings for the kidnapper. You love him, but you can't. Aghh, I need you to read this book!

Please comment down below what you thought if you read it, and I will reply, because I think you will understand my feelings better as you really need to read it to understand.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you soon!
