Fiquei indecisa entre as 3,5 e as 4🌟
Este livro é narrado na primeira pessoa, a personagem principal que é o Joe Thorne, acontece muitas situações macabras durante o livros, mentiras que lhe contam em pequeno, memorias trocadas, a culpa e a vingança... Se continuar a escrever é spoiler ahah só digo que é um bom livro mas não fantastico

Wow wow!!! This packs a hefty punch. I enjoyed every page turning, edge of seat gripping, heart pounding moment. I loved all the characters and especially the psychotic person... I won’t make an spoilers here but omg it’s sooo good. I think I will look at old mining towns in a different light. Also how the simplest of creatures such as insects can inspire the sort of horrifying fear we associate with horror genres such as films and books. Love love love it.

TenÃa ganas de leer este libro, por que el hombre de tiza, de la misma autora, me encantó. La cosa es que este libro ya me pareció parecido a uno de stephen king y con Annie Thorne me ha pasado lo mismo. Por momentos parecÃa estar leyendo a King. Que para nada tiene por que ser algo malo. Pero si me dejaba algo extraña.
El libro es bueno. Nos va narrando cosas del pasado que uno no llega aún a comprender y necesitas seguir leyendo. Me ha enganchado muchÃsimo.
Recomiendo mucho este libro si te gustan los de casos extraños y desapariciones, y gente caotica. A veces decÃa pero por dios callate no te metas en más lios y me desesperaba un poco el protagonista, por que me caÃa bien pero hablaba de más y se metÃa en problemas.
Es un libro que se lee rápido y que a mi me ha entretenido y mantenido curiosa. Eso si, se parece a king pero no da tanto terror.

The Taking Of Annie Thorne' has many mysteries and secrets from the start. I was a bit stuck between 4 or 3 stars therefore I went for 3 because the first part of the book was a bit boring, yet hooked me in from the mystery to deep dark secrets that Arnhill has.
Joe Thorne has many secrets from his teenage years, to his sister missing and then reappearing after 48 hours. He goes back to his home town, after getting an anonymous email stating that they know what happened to his sister. Investigating and digging deeper into the town's secrets. He has his own problems, gambling, alcohol and lies to get a job at Arnhill Acdemy. It is clear that he loves protecting his students from bullying and wants the best for his students too. But can he protect himself from his own problems?
It was rather interesting, as the author added in creepy and scary vibes to the story as the chapters progressed further to the end. I hoped C.J Tudor would've explained more in depth about what 'truly' happened to Joe's sister or the many secrets that has kept me on the edge. The ending sure did surprise me, but I wash etching to get more answers as they were left unsaid.
