5.0 out of 5 stars Tight, Suspenseful Thriller, Oct 18 2007
By N. Manning (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ransom (Paperback)
Another tight, suspenseful thriller from Lois Duncan! Five students living in a rich area of town are kidnapped and held for ransom. The perspective switches occasionally from the teens to the parents and we find that each family has problems and secrets. The characters, as well as their background, are incredibly well-developed, especially for a book that comes in at under 200 pages. The plot was very suspenseful and just when you thought you knew how it would end you were thrown for a twist. The back of my book states that Lois Duncan has written 45 books, so I can see I've got a lot more reading ahead of me. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars OH MY GOD!!!!:), May 12 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Ransom (Paperback)
Do you like mysteries? Do you like excitement, action, suspense?Then you should read "Ransom," by Louis Duncan. It is about 5 kids who get kidnapped, and the parents have to pay the ransom of $15,000 for EACH kid in order to get them back. Not only does it have mysteries, action, and suspense, but it has somewhat of romance and sadness. 2 of the kids start to fall in love with each other after something extreme happens to one of them. I'm sure you won't be able to put this book down.

This book was enjoyable to me, but certainly not as much as her other books. To me, she puts in a lot of stuff she didn't need, just so the story would be longer. Read more
