Reseñas de la Crítica

"Page-turning suspense with a clever heroine who meets up with bad luck, bad men, a bad dog, bad weather, bad health, and has to face them all without seeing them. A nail-biter." (Gail Giles, best-selling author of What Happened to Cass McBride?)

"A unique and clever premise. Cheyenne has to be one of the most resourceful heroines in recent memory." (Todd Strasser, best-selling author of Wish You Were Dead)

"[A] can’t-put-it-down crime thriller...constantly interesting and suspenseful." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Not my cup of tea

Not bad, kept my attention, but a bit unpleasant to read. Blind girl kidnapped and threatened by brutal men. Stressful to listen to.

Great book for all ages

No matter what age you are, you'll love this book! April Henry has a great sense of suspense and Rudd does a great job with narration.

Easy listening

Quick easy listen and very easy to follow. Narrative was pretty good. Finished in a day.

awesome

i love all your books and your reader to she did an amazing job reading

Best Book I've Read Since Warriors

I just finished this book, and I'm amazed. The story was action packed and intense.

Machine narrative

Sounded like a machine reading. Predictable plot not super great. Would not read another like it from this author.

Narration sounds like AI

GRADE: B-
3.5 stars

Resting in the back of her stepmother Danielle's car, Cheyenne is carjacked from outside a pharmacy. Griffin never meant to kidnap her, he wouldn't have stolen the car if he new Cheyenne, sick from pneumonia and blind from an accident three years prior, huddles under a blanket. When his father Roy learns Cheyenne is wealthy, the accidental kidnapping becomes a ransom situation and all bets are off.

I read GIRL, STOLEN in one sitting. April Henry held my interest with this even-paced novel. Chapters alternate from Griffin's and Cheyenne's third person points of view. I usually prefer first person narratives, but Henry did a great job letting drawing me in. Griffin and Cheyenne were interesting and likable characters. Some of Cheyenne's abilities to fight back felt unrealistic, not because of her blindness, but because she had no self-defense training and any kidnapped teen would have to be terrified.

GIRL, STOLEN is a fun read, but not very memorable. I got it for $1.99 at Amazon. I'll probably read the sequel, but not until the price comes down.

interesting

I actually read this book myself and then had audible read me to sleep but this book is unlike the books I usually read it keeps your attention and every detail is important I usually don't like "horror, mystery, tragedy" books but this was really entertaining and left me with chills

Amazing

I read "The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die" by April Henry and felt like I needed to read this. This story is one of my favorites no doubt.
