Summary: This book will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Review: This book is one you can't put down. It tells the story about 5 kids who get kidnapped right of their school bus, and how their families are struggling to get the money to get their kids back. It also tells the bravery of the kids, and how they try to escape danger. The ending will suprise you the most. The last one who you think can save the 5 kids, does. If you want a book that will keep you in suspense, on the edge of your seat, and one that leaves you with a cliff hanger at the end of every page, this is the book for you.

Summary: THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK!
Review: I thought that the book Ransom, by Lois Duncan, was a great story and had a suspenseful theme. Lois Duncan is a very thoughtful writer, and I loved the way she wrote the suspense into the events, like when she vividly explained every detail of how the kidnapping took place and how she went over all of the possible ways to get out of it without having to pay the ransom, and why it wouldn't work. I also liked the way that the characters had seperate personalities and their actions matched. An example is, Dexter, one of the children who has been kidnapped, has a very short temper, and is always being upset and angry for one reason or another in this sticky situation. I think that almost every kind of person would enjoy this book because the children in this book that were kidnapped can relate to everyone. It shows how they dealt with the situation they were given. I certainly recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense and mysterious plots. The kind of person who is curious and likes to get to the end of the book would also find this hard to put down. Overall this book was worth the time I took reading it. The only part I didn't fully enjoy was the very depressing mood, because it was about five children that were kidnapped and their parents couldn't get enough money to pay the ransom. Also it was kind of confusing because the setting switches back from place to place, so it isn't that easy to follow. Other than those two problems I thought that this is one of the best books I've ever read because, overall it is thrilling, and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I hope you will agree with me.

Summary: Suspense Book ALWAYS leaving you on the end of your chair!
Review: Louis Duncan is known to write GREAT thrilling teen books! After reading Ransom, I wished there was more wanting it to never end. The plot was outstanding, but I was not very satisfied with the conclusion. She is a great, experience, writer. I highly recommend this book to any teens looking for an exciting mystery. Ransom should be your choice to read!

Summary: I thought the book Ransom was horrible.
Review: The teenagers in the story were too boring. You could almost predict what was going to happen next. The book wasn't written well enough to draw me in. I've read most of the Lois Duncan books and found the majority to be really good. I feel that Lois Duncan is a great writer, but this isn't one of her best books.

Summary: boring
Review: I bought this book because I read that Lois Duncan was also the author of I know what you did last summer. I was disapointed because hardly anything happened! There was only one exciting part in the whole book.

Summary: This was good, but not enough action
Review: I did this book for a book report and it was good, but I didn't think it had to much to do with a REAL ransom. In one part, the group tryed to escape and the kidnapper- Buck left them with I think the wife who just let them do what the pleased. Probably in a real kidnapping, Buck would have killed them. I am interested in books like this one that have action. This is not what I would call a book with so much action you can not put it down. I of course, don't have the same opinion as everyone, but if you would like an action- packed book, I would suggest that you don't read this. But, if you don't want to be scared out of your mind, the is the right book for you.
