Customer Reviews of The Stolen Child: A Novel
Dark and insightful... I really dug this book. If you like stories where no one gets out clean, then this is for you. Everyone has a past, and Paul writes it well. At times he even had me feeling sorry for the kidnapper, something that is not so easy to do considering the pain he puts young Ford through. I consider that the sign of a truly good book.
Outstanding Prose Stylist
This is a short but powerful first novel that follows the fortunes of a boy that is kidnapped and effectively transformed into a personality distant from his original one. Cody's narrative is not only sympathetic to the boy and the mother and brother he left behind, but also to the abusive kidnapper and to the various teachers, waitresses, and others that cross their escape path. The stream of consciousness narrative elements that emanate from a death row cell reveal Cody as an outstanding prose stylist.
haunting
this book shook me up for so long, then i read "deep end of the ocean" and was so disappointed in that being the oprah pick, and a disturbing and moving book like "stolen child" got overlooked. "deep end" i couldn't wait to get through it, it was awful. "stolen child" was so tense and disturbing, a great read. one i think about years later.
