4 The book was good.
I would say, definitely. This book is good for just a fun read or for a project. It's got twists and it's very interesting. You always think about what might happen next! I do recommend this book to anyone who considers reading it. ( )

Harrowing, hard-to-read topic, but one of those books you can't tear yourself away from. Author evokes a strong connectedness with the main character, Jeff. ( )

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0399233660, Hardcover)

Jeff Hart was thirteen when a man kidnapped him at knife point. Now he's sixteen and back with his family. But how can he adjust to the "normal" life of a California teenager? What will it be like to see his old friends, even to go back to school, when everyone is wondering exactly what happened to him? What does his family, and especially his father, think about the relationship he developed with his kidnapper? And how can Jeff live with himself after all he has been through?

This powerful and unsettling novel explores the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with who he was, and who he is now, after an experience that has changed his life.
