Taken

I just recently started the book Taken by Edward Bloor. The story is about a girl named Charity who has been kidnapped and is being held hostage in an ambulance. I think the author has done an exceptional job with the character development in the novel, especially considering the setting that has limited the amount of action in the plot. Bloor has been able to communicate the protagonist's personality through the way that she responds to the situation she is in as well as through the "flashbacks" that the character is constantly experiencing. As for the plot development, there hasn't been a great amount so far. As someone who personally likes action in a book I feel that the story is slightly slow right now. I am predicting that some time soon there will be a change in setting of the story, which will most likely help with the plot development. If it weren't for Bloor's great character development (and interesting personalities of his characters) I don't know if I would still be reading this book!
