Kidnapped
Title- kidnapped
Author- Robert Louis Stevenson
What is it about?- ‘If anyone tells you life is a dull and predictable business, let them hear my story. In the 1751 I lost my parents and my home. I was 16 years old and all I possessed were the clothes on my back. I had nowhere to go, and no reason to think my life would amount to much. ‘Kidnapped’ is a thrilling adventure story about a boy who, after his parents died, has to go and live in ‘the house of the shaws’ , with his mad, mysterious uncle ‘Ebenezer’. Ebenezer is hiding a secret from him, and is cautious that he’ll find out therefore his uncle is subtly trying to murder the boy, whilst he’s living in the house (however the boy does not know this). One day the boy went on a boat trip with his uncles friend (who is also trying to kill him) The stranger took the boy down to the chamber of the trip. The boy then accepted to go down with the stranger. This is when the boy was kidnapped!!!!
My opinion- I think the book is a really exciting tension building book. At the beginning of the book it’s really scary and chilling. It’s the sort of book that I could not read before I went to bed because it gave me nightmares!!!!! However as the book goes on it is not scary anymore, but it’s a lot more complicated as more things happen. I think in the middle of the book, too much is going on and it gets too complicated to read. I had to read each sentence like 3 times to understand it. However it was really exciting and a good thing to read when you’re bored!!!!
Would I recommend it?- Yes. I’d recommend it to anyone who like action packed adventure stories and also scary stories. But I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who doesn’t because then it will be really boring.
