Taken

I am reading the book Taken by Edward Bloor. It is set in a rich area of Florida called the Highlands in the year 2035. In this time kidnapping is a large industry in the U.S, and the rich people live in highly secure areas and all have body guards and helicopters, but still many kids are still taken. The main character, Charity, lives with her dad who created a bronzer that keeps you tan for a whole year and her step mom who runs a TV program. The scene switches from her in the back of the kidnappers ambulance to her on Christmas eve trying to think of good thoughts and not to panic. It is a little hard to follow and you don't know if it is her in the flash back or real life. I wish they would explain Charity's situate better all you know about her is that she's rich and was kidnapped. I am almost half way done with the book and i don't think they are going to reveal much more about her life. I really like the book as of now, it is very intense because apparently her kidnapping is not a normal one. I want to know how it is not normal and what the kidnapper wants, other than money. It is a really hard book to put down especially when there is a very good part. The sensory details are very good, at points you feel like you are in the ambulance with Charity wondering if you will get out alive. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes upbeat intense, thrilling books. I'm very excited to finish the book and find out what happens to Charity.
