Stolen: A Letter to My Captor

2009 | Mystery | Romance | Thriller | Young Adult (YA)

Sixteen year old Gemma is kidnapped from Bangkok airport and taken to the Australian Outback. This wild and desolate landscape becomes almost a character in the book, so vividly is it described. Ty, her captor, is no stereotype. He is young, fit and completely gorgeous. This new life in the wilderness has been years in the planning. He loves only her, wants only her. Under the hot glare of the Australian sun, cut off from the world outside, can the force of his love make Gemma love him back? The story takes the form of a letter, written by Gemma to Ty, reflecting on those strange and disturbing months in the outback. Months when the lines between love and obsession, and love and dependency, blur until they don't exist - almost.

Very, very interesting. I had never read anything like Stolen before. An actual letter to your captor, oh how strong you must be to not only write to such a person, but to recall everything that happened to you and write it with such honesty. After reading this, I really hope I never get kidnapped: Gemmy had me starting to like her kidnapper. As she slowly and unconsciously slipped into the Stockholm syndrome, I felt myself slip as well. In fact, by the end, I was rooting for Ty and actually began to like him. Once I finished reading, I couldn't believe I felt the way I did. Even now, I'm still a bit confused about how I should feel about him. Very, very good read!

I have owned this book for quite sometime and I just now got around to reading it. The plot really intrigued me and Iremember picking up the book at Barnes & Noble years ago.

The characters were really interesting and I really liked how Lucy Christopher captured the internal dialog that took place in this book. Ultimately I would have liked to have known more about Ty and his life.

For the most part, the characters were interesting and the plot kept my attention. It was a little slow to read but in the end it was worth pushing through.

This book tells the story of Gemma, a 16 year old girl who is taken from a coffee shop in Bangkok airport by a mysterious guy. Part of her recognizes him which is why she agrees to approach him in the first place. That's when the horror & beauty of her captivity begins.
The book is written as a letter to Ty which the reader is not really, entirely able to tell until the very last pages. It is an interesting concept and a very easy read. There is wonderful description throughout the book. The author does a great job getting Gemma's emotions across... emotions that are all over the place. Sometimes they have you feeling awful for her & sometimes even for Ty.
My biggest issue with this book was the ending. It just leaves you hanging & I hate that!! I don't want to say much more & ruin it because it is worth the read.
