 Stephanie does not get along with her mother's new boyfriend Gregg, who is very different from her late father. Gregg is always going out of his way to get on her nerves. Though he was annoying, Stephanie  never thought of Gregg as a threat – until he begins mentioning her resemblance to the girls who have recently gone missing from their homes….

    I thought this was a great book! I couldnt stop reading. It makes you want to read more and more every second! I also love how the kidnapper is someone in the earlist chapters, and it surprised me how everybody acted. I also thought that when she was alone in the woods, something terrible would happen.

    The book Taken is a really good book.I like it because the author makes it feel like your in the book.Everytime I would read the book I would be scared to turn the next page the author made it seem like you was one of the main characters.My favorite character is Stephine is kind of like me.She is hard headed and does things in her will.

    I read Taken. I absolutely loved this book!!! It was amazing how the author brought you into the story. I love the ending the most. It amazes that Stephanie's soon-to-be stepfather tried to kill her. He wanted to get rid of her just so he could have her mom to hisself. I think everyone should read this. This is an amazing book!!!!

    I read taken. I never thought i would see myself reading a book like that. The book teaches long girls not to walk alone by theirselves. Stephanie's dad dies in a car accident and her mom started seeing another guy and his name was Greg. Stephanie went missing and didnt know where she was and she was scared the man that took her would find her. She found her way back home and the police was doing investigations. Greg confessed to taking Stephanie and told the police why he did what he did. He did it cause he wanted her mom all to himself. The book is very intresting to read. I thought i wouldnt like it but when I started reading it I couldnt put it down. I think all the girls should read this book it teaches you alot about not to go anywhere by theirselves. I LOVED THE BOOK.

    Taken was a awesome book. I could't believe she had the will to survive. SHe suffered alot when someone kiddnapped her. When they realized who it was i was shocked. Her mom's boyfriend was behind the kidnapping and was planning to kill her. SHe escaped in time. He was arrested. It made it suspensful because there was a serial killer laready on the loose.

    I absolutly loved this book. I think books like these are fun to read. A girl named Stephanie thinks nothing of her stepdad untill she starts to worry when he tells her about the missing children near there.She didnt believe she would get takin by the so called killer. One day she gets off the bus and a man grabs her shes alone in the woods not knowing what to think.she finds her way to her house she find out it was her step dad and he wass arrested. Such a great book!! (:
