Title: An emotional read rather than a thriller
Review: The story was well written but VERY British. I feel like I got the meaning of half of the British references by context rather than the words themselves. This may have disrupted my reading somewhat. I also find it difficult to follow when the characters are referred to by their first names at times, and their last name at other times. I have to do a mental recalibration to keep everyone straight. And it was hardly a thriller, I didn’t care much about catching the bad guys as I did about Evan, his recovery and his family. The relationships between the police made me feel like this was part of a series, and I was supposed to know about their backstories, but didn’t. The story picked up steam despite the above mentioned shortcomings, and it is a solid 3 star satisfactory read in my opinion, perhaps 4 star if I didn’t have to mentally sift through all the British-isms.

Title: Well Written
Review: Found is a story of an English family who’s son is kidnapped and abused. It’s also a story about the police who investigate his disappearance. I enjoyed the book because I like mysteries and I especially enjoy books about families The characters were very well developed. It’s the kind of book that leaves you feeling good. If you like mysteries and strong characters you should enjoy this tale.

Title: Great story, different approach
Review: I enjoyed reading this story, as it took a very different look at a despicable crime. No sensationalism around the horror of the crime. Focus was on the healing and also the process of finding the perpetrators.

Title: Found
Review: Being found is just the beginning. How does a child ever cope with the horrific things he suffered. If you are looking for page-turning action or a mind challenging police procedural, this book is not for you. Instead, it is a tender story of a family coming to grips with and healing from having their lives turned upside down. Wonderful characters.

Review: This book was a good read. It did take me a couple of chapters to really get into but once it got going it was hard to put down.The characters are believable and I found myself really rooting for Evan while he worked through his trauma.It’s a real eye opener about the dangers of the real world and what can happen to the children in our care.I highly recommend this book.

Review: Dieser Thriller wurde vom britischen Radiosender BBC 2, bzw. von dem Buchclub als Lesetipp angepriesen, was mit dem “WDR 2 Buchtipp” von Christine Westermann gleichzusetzen wäre.Die Story hat mich insofern gefesselt, als dass ich das Buch innerhalb ein paar Stunden komplett gelesen hatte, und das kommt bei mir äuÃersts selten vor.Es geht um einen kleinen Jungen, der entführt und erst Monate später gefunden wird. Die eigentliche Story jedoch, handelt um die Nachwirkungen, und zwar auf alle Beteiligten, sei es Eltern, GroÃeltern, Schulfreund und natürlich auf den jungen Evan selbst.Ich fand das Buch persönlich sehr gut, eine fesselnde und zugleich sehr emotionale Story vom Anfang bis zum Ende. Die Charaktere für mich sehr glaubwürdig und die Beschreibung der Umgebung sehr zutreffend (ich war schon einige Male dort).Lesenswert!
