Wanted,
By Nicole Boje (Des Moines, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wanted! (Mass Market Paperback)
Wanted is a thriller. It's about a girl who is accused of murdering her own father! Her father had called her about a half-hour before his murder teling her to take his beloved Corvette and drive it to salmon river! She's only 15 and doesn't have her license yet! She drives there and an hour later hears her dad's name on the radio saying that he'd been murdered! Than the description of the Corvette (Which she was in) and panicked called her mom who said that she had a personal testimony from Alice and so Alice just ran ran ran. Her parents had a divorce and her mom had a new boyfriend. All Alice had left of her father were two disks named TWIN! Will Alice prove that she didn't kill her father? I knew right from the start that Alice didn't and so will you but will you find out who did it before they tell you? I gave this five stars because I relly liked the book and it kept me interested. I never wanted to put it down! I think that anyone who has read a Caroline B. Cooney book and liked it will like this book.

A Good Thriller,
By
This review is from: Wanted! (Mass Market Paperback)
Caroline Cooney has a gift for natural expression and her metaphors never fail to delight. Although I do not care for her supernatural stories, thrillers such as this are more her bailiwick. Alice is an appealling, sympathetic character who is unwittingly involved in some mystery, action and chase scenes. This may sound funny, but I loved the part about her driving the landlord's old Dodge Dart. I have a deep love for the classic Chrysler, having learned to drive on a Dodge Dart myself. (It was a canary yellow with a hard black vinyl top 4DSD - a Dodge Dart Custom). Adult readers will smile over the heads of some of the characters and will certainly appreciate the nod to the modern age -- the computer rooms in the university and the delightful contrast of the memory of a Dodge Dart. Nice job.

It was ok ( I guess),
By Kaitlin Fitts (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wanted! (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was kinda boring. There wasn't really any action. It was about a girl named Alice and 1 day she gets a call from her dad. He tells her 2 get some disks in his office and 2 meet him at a milkshake shop. She goes there but he never shows up. Then she hears on her radio that he dad has been murdered. After he was murdered, Alice's mom got an email from Alice confessing that she killed her dad. But Alice didn't send the email. Someone else did. And in the whole book, Alice is trying 2 find places 2 hid from the police. It was just really boring and a waste of time.
