WHEN LIFE SEEMS LIKE A BAD VIDEO CLIP Melanie Spence was just another sixteen-year-old until the sunny afternoon she was kidnapped. Suddenly her everyday problems--an oversexed boyfriend, an irritating mother, a dad who left home--paled in comparison to the sick fantasyland her kidnapper called reality. Curtis Lowe was about forty, trapped in his own demented netherworld of domineering monsters, dead sisters, and an obsessive desire for a family. Melanie and a little four-year-old girl were his prisoners on a terrifying odyssey of danger and destruction. There was no way he would let them go...not alive, anyway. Though bound and gagged, Melanie refused to give up hope. She still had her brains, so why be a victim when she could be a survivor'... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

What I loved most about the book is that although Melanie is your typical teenage girl, she's not your typical damsel-in-distress. Her background and the events she has had to overcome really instilled a resilience inside her, preparing her for what was to come.
Being Australian, I loved the references to our culture and brands. The descriptive writing isn't overpowering, and the exciting storyline will appeal to teens and adults alike.
It's a quick read, however it's paced nicely and the ending doesn't let you down. We get to see the cogs ticking inside the antagonists head, and Melanie's internal dialogue keeps us on the edge of our seat.
I've always wondered why this book isn't as well-known as it ought to be. It's deeply disturbing, intense and a great example of a heroine who uses her brains to get herself through what is a thoroughly terrifying experience.
