Is this book calling you too?

  Previously reading the book The Land of the Living I have found this book to be well overall. The beginning is a huge attention grabber. Starting off with a girl, Abbie being tortured after being kidnapped. Way's in which she dealt with the pain, and in all darkness she found herself. She escaped him. While escaping it wasn't easy for Abbie to remember the past days prior to being taken from her flat. Although, the beginning really grabs the reader, the middle of the book seems to drag on. It talks of her ex, and leaving him, it's understood this is how she came to who she is but at the same time it takes away from the suspense.
 The ending was filled with action as the beginning was. Abbie found Sarah another girl being tortured the same way. While trying to undo the wire around her neck holding a black bag over he head she heard the kidnapper coming. She quickly re-did everything, and hid in the darkness. While the man was working with Sarah she opened up and told him that there was someone else around. Abbie came out of the dark and plunged her thumbs into the man's eyes pushing them half way to his brain.
   Some people are intrigued with action or suspense others would prefer a much more laid back story. This story got my attention because it relates to the show Criminal Minds, NCIS, and many other crime shows. Figuring out what is unknown causes the reader to predict who the person causing the crime is. Well know it's time to think if you would read a book like this? Are you into suspense, romance, and the unexpected? Then this is a book for you too.

one always like another.

 Previously in the year my teacher Mr.Kain addressed the fact that books seem to play off one another. Each story is a retelling of another. The book I've recently finished is called The Land of the Living, by Nicci French. A girl named Abbie who went through traumatizing events tries to get back on her feet. With every step she takes is the memory of what happened to her in that dark cellar. The man is out there someone trying to find her, trying to kill her. Although Abbie remembers the man who hurt her she can't remember any of the days leading up to her capture. Will little previous evidence her detective Inspector Cross can't tell if everything she says is made up or not. With Abbie back tracking her steps she finds clues, with each clue she contacts Mr. Cross. He doesn't check up on what she says instead he lets it play out. He waits, and waits. Until the day Abbie runs away and finds a girl named Sarah who is captured and treated the same way she had been. Sounds like The Boy who Cried Wolf if you ask me. The boy always says a wolf is coming. Once people can't trust you fully why should they trust you now? If you were in Mr.Cross's position would you take Abbie's thoughts into consideration?
