The Taking

review 1: I was worried when I saw alien abductions were a part of the storyline. Really worried.But the abduction isn't dwelled upon - the results of it are. Kyra has been missing for five years, but to her, it seems like five minutes. She hasn't aged or changed at all. She has no memories past the argument with her father and the ensuing light.But with the NSA after her, her parents divorced, and her boyfriend and best friend now together, the only other person Kyra can trust is the boy next-door. Together, they go on the run and it's one twist after another until the very end.Fast-paced, interesting, with some Sci-Fi, but that's not the main focus of the story.
review 2: This book deserves 4 1/2 stars. It was phenomenal. I am not at all remotely interested in science... more fiction/fantasy. This book just happened to be readily available at the library one day, before I had to sit down and wait for my car to be fixed. Lo & behold, once I started reading, I couldn't stop! I *loved* this book!! Derting created characters I connected with (Tyler is so swoon-worthy) and a plot line that, albeit out there (pun intended), was absolutely riveting. Though a little reminiscent of X-Men & the Percy Jackson series in minor details, the author has created really fresh content - an unusual occurrence in ya lit (and it promotes reading Ray Bradbury - way to go Derting!). Overall, The Taking is a very unique, fast-paced, and fascinating book. I cannot wait for the next installment! :) less
