The Face on the Milk Carton
Review:
Meh. That is really all I can say about how the book made me feel. Maybe it is because I thought it would be a thriller or a more adult book, but I was disappointed. It’s sad that it is this way because the story would have been really cool. I really didn’t like Reeve. I thought it was such a toxic relationship, and it just felt wrong. I also thought Jamie was really immature for a sixteen-year-old, and I just couldn’t relate to her thinking. The author just didn’t remember what it was like to be a teenager, or the book is just dated. There was also that whole name thing, and she just had too many, which was also really weird. I feel like the movie may be better hen the book because the book is underdramatized, whereas movies usually up the drama. The mystery seemed a little diluted; it would have been so much cooler if her “parents” were actually the kidnappers. I feel like so many little things irked me about this book. The worst part was that it ended in a horrible cliffhanger! I will not be reading the second book, and I am very disappointed.
