A review by sage_bee
Taken by Erin Bowman

3.0

In the future, there is a place called Claysoot. a place where boys are taken on their 18th birthday. No one knows where they go, they are simply gone. The people call it the Heist.
When Grey Weathersby's older brother Blaine is Heisted, Grey finds a note from his mother, and after doing some digging, he finds out that Blaine was actually his twin.
Taken, by Erin Bowman, is a pretty good book. It combines adventure, romance, and a futuristic dystopian society to make an engaging story. However it is lacking something for me, because I am not able to relate to the characters very much, the story being about an 18-year-old boy, and I being a girl significantly younger.
This book is not appropriate for anyone under 13 because of overly romantic content.
(you know what I mean)I think that someone between the ages of 16 and 18 would be able to relate to the characters and therefore enjoy this book the most.
