Publisher's summary

This stunning debut novel from Australian author Lucy Christopher generated considerable buzz for its nonstop suspense and breathtaking imagery. Sixteen-year-old Gemma is on a layover at Bangkok Airport, headed to Vietnam with her parents. Then the vaguely familiar Ty drugs Gemma’s drink and steals her away. Her head swirling in confusion, Gemma soon finds herself fighting to survive in the unforgiving Outback.

Entertaining and easy to listen to.

I enjoyed the overall theme in this novel. I enjoyed looking at this story through the eyes of the protagonist.

My favorite book

I read this book for the first time when I was 16 and absolutely loved it. Years later I decide to listen to the Audiobook and I fell in love all over again! This book is unlike any other I’ve read. It might not be for everyone because it can be a bit slow but the story is just so beautifully written and unique. Gemma is writing to her kidnapper Ty so the whole book has a really interesting point of view. You feel sorry for Ty and it makes you feel like you have Stockholm syndrome along with Gemma. Definitely would recommend to anyone who likes romance with a twist. The sequel is amazing as well!

Naiveté and sweetness within criminal behaviour

Its not too often we find a book which induces us to feel sympathetic towards both victim and perpetrator of a crime. That's what made this book different for me, and enjoyable.

I did wish the ending could have been different, but ... of course ... it couldn't.

Desperate and real. Excellent narration.

What did you love best about Stolen?

I can truly see the heroine's dilemma and desperation. If you have ever been in any sort of abusive or dominating relationship, and felt unable to escape, or felt the complexities of co-dependency, you will probably love this book.

What other book might you compare Stolen to and why?

Room. Just a desperate, oh my gosh, what would I do, kind of a read.

What about Emily Gray’s performance did you like?

Excellent Aussie and British accents. Brings the main characters to life.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Extreme, no. But I cannot wait to hit "play" and don't want to get to the end and have it be over. Really enjoying it.

great story

it is a story that you will love because it is not what you think it will be.

Captivating!

Hands down, this is the best audiobook I've listened to so far. Not only is the storyline captivating, but the choice of readers is outstanding...brings this story to life!

Beautifully Confusing

I've cried and ached right along with Gemma, totally immersed in the beautiful and ugly world lain before the reader. Lucy Christopher has an amazing talent of sucking you in and keeping hold until the last words are spoken.

Good book

I enjoyed this book will read it again the kidnapping is a bit weak and you can find fault but I loved this story set in the Australian outback and 3-4 weeks after reading this book Im still thinking about it:-))

Worth repeating!

I bought this book this little knowledge of the story. I loved the story and the way it was told and the performance so much that a year later I listen to it all over again. As I finish this book for the second time I was still sad to see the characters go…I will be looking for more Lucy Christopher books!
