Taken
Don't understand how can this book be on a school list if it has sexual content.

Taken
It was a good book with some twists and turns but not the best book that I ever read. I would recomend this book to middle school readers.
Nick

Terrible book
This book is really bad. The story line gets all mixed up, and at some points, I thought about closing the book. It made no sense at all in most parts, and I would not recommend reading it.

taken review
This was the dumbest book i have ever read. if your thinking about reading it i will give you some advice, DON'T. The cover makes it sound like it will be such a good book. I was very disappointed. I will say, tho. that the idea was good. Go back and read the back page.... sound awesome! right? It's a great idea. Kidnapping, the future, rich vs. poor. I would definitely be interested it that. However, than I started to read the book and omg, did it suck or what??? Don't read it. The words are poorly chosen, it doesn't get your attention, and what charity does when she's taken is not what a real 12 year old girl would do.
