Rating: Summary: I liked it, but it was a little hard to follow. Review: I think Lois Duncan's books are very good and then is a very good one, but I thought it was a little hard to follow. It would have been better if she used it from one person's view...like Jesse's, Dexter's, Bruce's, Marianne's or Glenn's...even Rita would have been good. It makes the story seem more realistic..
Rating: Summary: It's a really exciting book. But a little bit confusing Review: Ransom is a really good book. I love books that keep you interested. Ransom starts off right at the begining with the story. It goes right into it. It has a lot of action, crime, and a little romance. It really goes into what people are feeling in family situations.I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: I thought it was a really good book. Review: BOOK REVIEWI read the book Ransom by Lois Duncan. This book was about five teenagers who all go to the same high school together. They thought it was an average day going home from school. The teenagers are not ready for what is about to happen to them next. The next thing that they know is they are being kidnapped and taken to a cabin in the woods where they cannot get away. (The reason they were kidnapped is because the people who kidnapped them needed the money.) After the teenagers had been in the cabin for so long, they finally decided that they should breakout. When they do try to escape, they get a big surprise. I found this book very interesting, but you have to keep up with what is going on especially to figure out the end of the story. I recommend this book to people who love mysteries.
Rating: Summary: One and a Half thumbs up! Review: Before I wrote this I read all of the other reviews and as many people have said this plot has been used before. But Lois Duncan has thought it out carefully and it is a good book.
Rating: Summary: A wonderful book that was very suspenceful. Review: It is about a group of 5 kids who get held ransom and about their adventures and lifes as they try to escape from there kidnapers. This was one of the best books i have ever read and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspenceful readings and real life situtations.
Rating: Summary: It was OK... Review: This story was all right, but I found it kind of boring. I've read much better ones by her, in which there are more surprises and mystery.
Rating: Summary: Okay, but... Review: I really liked this book until I got to the end. The ending really put me off! I don't really think there could have been a happy ending in this book, and the one Lois Duncan picked was very unrealistic. If you want realism I suggest you read Robert Cormier's books, he is very realistic.
Rating: Summary: Ransom is a great book Review: I am in the seventh grade and we are reading this book Ransom its a great story very datailed. Its very interesting because Lois Duncan, really knows how to make it interesting so you just dont read parts of it, but you need to read the whole thing. Lois Duncan is a great writter. Everyone in calss loves the book.
Rating: Summary: Exciting, but not as good as some of her others Review: This book is OK. It doesn't really stand out as much as some of her others, and the story isn't really interesting: five kids get kidnapped and held for ransom, and they try to escape. What else can I say about it? It's just not as unique as some of her others. It is, however, exciting, fast-moving, and worth reading. I did like in the end when that girl(I forget her name, and I don't feel like getting the book) realized in the end that her real father didn't care about her or her mother, and how she learned to appreciate her step-father. I think that's the most character development in this book. Although setting wasn't really important in this book, I did like it. Over-all, this book is average. Maybe a little more, but not much at all.
Rating: Summary: "Terrific" Review: A suspensful and enthralling story of a kidnapping of four wealthy teens.
