Un libro narrado de una manera increíble, donde podías ponerte en el lugar de Gemma, pero también en el lugar de Ty.
La autora logró que yo sufriera del síndrome de estocolmo :c

i really like the writing style. the first paragraph alone drew me in so quickly and piqued my interest. like others, i read this once when i was in high school. though i did not finish it because i skipped almost 80% of the book and read the few last pages of the book, spoiled myself, and ended up hurting myself. well back then i romanticized them being
together, but now that i read the entire book, i now see my mistakes.
regardless of the rating, i enjoyed and liked this book. gemma's reactions and how she tried to cope with her abduction feel very realistic to me. i, too, was conflicted the same way gemma did.

This book is fine, Both the atmosphere and world building was okay. Both the writing was fine and the paced of plot was fine. The cover of the book was okay and the characters were fine but they bit flat and needed to flash out also the ending was fine.
Maybe if I was younger I'd of enjoyed this book but unfortunately it's to unrealistic for me to enjoy it and when I read the description of the book I thought it was going to be similar to the movie "Taken" but this was nothing like it so I decided to give up on this book.I'm sure someone else will enjoy this book but life's to short to be finishing books that don't interest me.
EDIT: 4th time reading my all time favourite book! SO IN LOVE
Third time reading my all time favourite book and I still cry. Its been my favourite for 6 years and I don't see it being taken of my number one spot for years. Will pay anyone to read this book, I want this book tattooed on my forehead

BR w the one and only Sunny without whom I couldn't have gotten further than 54%.
Well, fuck. Guess who wasn't expecting that?
Guess who wasn't expecting this goddamn book to come along,
And scatter my heart into more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle.
And hurt me more than snake venom.
And rip me apart so thoroughly, I don't know what's wrong and what's right.
Despite being vehemently against Ty, he's the reason I was hooked to this book. He's the reason I lay in my bed at night, not sleeping, but wondering if my life really is what I want it to be.
Never have I read about such an insane, morally grey yet conventionally protagonistic character.
He was everything, and he was nothing.
He was wrong, and he was right.
I'm sorry this isn't much of a review, but [b:Stolen: A Letter to My Captor|6408862|Stolen A Letter to My Captor|Lucy Christopher|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1311064295s/6408862.jpg|6597789] is a new level of mindfuckery altogether.

I never read a book that involved kidnapping and from the victim perspective so I chose Stolen since It had a good reputation and a lot of reviews saying it gave them weird feelings .
- The novel has a dark plot and story base yet it lack depth specially when it comes to the main and ONLY two characters in the Novel . Ty , the kidnapper and Gemma the victim .
- Ty was "normal" to me when it comes to what he have been through (his mother leaving him , father forgetting about him in the dessert and Ty surviving on his own , him ending up in London alone being on drugs and alcohol and many more that I don't want to spoil) except when he track Gemma for 6 years and build a place in the middle of the dessert for them to live forever which is obsessive . he was actually interacting nicely to his environment an Gemma , he even let her run away ! TWICE ! . With all the unfortunate events he have been through , Ty character should develop to become twisted , dark , intense and even weird but there is nothing like that in Stolen which is disappointing.
- Gemma seems lifeless to me , her personality falls flat and her background wasn't much focused on for me .
The writer put so much focus on how Gemma was trying to find plans to run away or kill Ty , But that toke more space than it should have .
-I want the characters to collide , fight and have more intense moments together and let their relationship to evolve but nothing have happened . their conversations wasn't rich and they were more like "exchange of information" or Ty telling a story rather than a real 2-people conversation , Gemma's part was short and more of her thinking of a way out . Gemma was not listening to Ty in the whole novel , she was just simply hearing it .
The setting of the novel in the middle of dessert made me feel in the middle of nowhere ! I felt it ! It gave the feeling of being hopeless and isolated from the whole world where you have no place to run to but Ty . The description was beautiful and spot on ! . The heat of the endless desert , the stars and the patterns it formed made me develop a hate/love feeling towards it . just like how Gemma felt.
-I wasn't a fan of the ending . when it finally got to the point of their interaction , it all ended up so fast . No goodbyes or anything . Just the confusion of Gemma to be back to reality .
- Stockholm syndrome was a nice touch that gave me the urge to search about it and wonder if Gemma actually suffered from it but she is convinced that she isn't .
-Gemma ended up not adapting to be back to her old life and confused about her feelings toward the life she had with Ty in the middle of the dessert , which was realistic type of confusion and post-trauma feelings
-The book wasn't bad , but it wasn't as dark as it should be in order to go with the intense atmosphere and if some complex and intensity was added to Ty .
It was like a beautiful portrait that lacks shading!
