Book Reviews of They Never Came Home (Laurel leaf suspense)
Book Review: another great book from Lois Duncan!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was really intriguing and kept you wanting more. Some people don't like the fact that this book was slow, but I liked that it gradually went along without too many clues about the ending. It moved along at a comfortable pace and had a lot of character development which has always been important to me. I also liked that it didn't really have ONE climax, but many of them, all leading up to the final part of the book where everything came to a heart stopping ending.
They Never Came Home was about two boys who went on a camping trip and never came back. It told stories of all the charicters that are all tied together in some way, even though in the beginning it looks like they have nothing to do with the others. It tells of the boys even though you don't know it. It tells the stories of both families. Lois Duncan is really good at this and I find it really interesting to read what is happening to each character at the same time and hear things from all different point of views. Simple enough plot, right? WRONG! A whole lot happens and the plot takes many twists and turns involving jewelry, drugs, betrayal, love, and mental breakdowns. But even though some of the other reviewers here think that the plot twists weren't easy to follow, I thought they were relevantly simple, but genius to think up and put together. (perhaps it was harder for them to understand because they are younger than 13. I mean it's a book for teenagers, if you aren't a teenager, then don't read it, and if you do, don't review it because there is bound to be plenty that you don't understand.) :) Sorry, had to blow off a little steam!
OK, so I won't give away any more of the plot and just tell you to READ THIS REALLY GOOD MYSTERY AND ALL THE OTHER CHILLING BOOKS BY LOIS DUNCAN!!
