How to be Lost by Amanda Eyre Ward
2008 June 29
This book is SO good!!
It’s about a dysfunctional family (we can all relate, right?) who’s youngest
member, Ellie, is kidnapped when she is in grade school. The main character though is not Ellie, it’s her oldest sister who narrates the novel.
I read the book in just 2 or 3 days – I can’t remember. But it really was intriguing. It’s rough though – the language, the scenery, the plot development – it’s not a “feel good” book. But it is interesting and I thought it was pretty clever how the author tied everything together!
I obviously give this one a green go sign! If you can look past the obvious”Christian No-no’s” (language, promiscuity, etc.) and get into the character development – it’s a really amazing story!
