| Comments: Wow. (Even though my last post was very vague to avoid spoilers, here they just can’t be avoided.) Setting aside the plausibility of a kidnapping attempt, and particularly one in which she is left alive, this book is extremely compelling. The whole scenario is depicted with such depth and such detail that it is gutwrenching. Even though the concept strains credibility, Meg is so realistic here, particularly in her interactions with the kidnapper. I didn’t read the originals (I was VERY young when they first came out) but I’m very glad I didn’t have to wait 20 years to find out what happened next. |
