Reading the back cover got me really interedted but the character of the mother annoyed me so much I couldn't even finish the book.
Great book about a son who is kidnapped then returned 11 years later -but has the trauma changed him?
great read,a page turner till the end.
Great mystery - will keep you guessing till the very end.
I read this back in 80's when I was still a kid and remember thinking it was very creepy. Wonder if I'd still think so now?
a son disappeared and was found alive and well 11 years later. the family gets their son back and are so happy. but things start going bad for the family. this is a great book.
An older book from MacDonald which was every bit as good as her later work. Kept me on edge of seat throughout!
good thriller
I can't believe anyone actually liked this book. I felt it was just plain ridiculous for many reasons. I suppose it was interesting enough to cause me to finish it, but even after I was done, I was left thinking, "What did I just read?!"
The story line was totally unbelievable in my opinion. The ending seemed abrupt, as though the author was just trying to find a way to end the nonsense. I think the idea of the book seemed intriguing, but the concept wasn't very well put together. A reference to the Backstreet Boys threw me off a bit, for the (original) publication date was 1983 (the Backstreet Boys were established roughly 10 years later). Perhaps this book was originally published in the 1980s and the author tried to update the book to be a bit more current, but nowadays with cell phones and the internet, I'd say this book was way too dated to be believable.
All in all this book was just too odd for me to enjoy it.
