Rating: 2

My rating for this book is a 2 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was not enough detail and the plot was very predictable.

Summary:

This is about a girl Lola. Her father is missing and everyone says that he died. Lola in disbelief starts trying to find him. She then has a story which is created that will be unique throughout her life.

Rating: 4 My rating for this book is a 4 because the book had a great plot line and it was well written. I also think that the book was using too much suspense at times which is why this is not a 4.5.

Rating: 3 My rating for this book is a 3 because the book is bland in my opinion and does not have intensive detail. This book failed to get my interest and I believe the main reason was that the plot was pretty basic and I don't think it will hook many readers.

Summary: This book is about Savannah. She gets kidnapped shortly after she has a fight with her mom's boyfriend. She then finds out another girls has been in the white van she was kidnapped in for quite a few months. They then plan and talk to see if they should escape.
