New Novel Blog

I stayed in range of the price limits on my books. This book looks interesting and I always heard tales of boot camp. The main character is Garret who is forced out of his home and taken to Lake Harmony. A mysterious woman kidnaps him and gets handcuffed and thrown in the backseat of a car. The driver wears a cowboy hat and communes with Garret but doesn't tell him why he has been kidnapped. On the first few pages of the book it tells us they were driving to the airport. Also, further info tells us they were headed to upstate New York. The two nappers were surnamed Harry and Rebecca. They're not violent nor tempermental. It is a conundrum to whether Garret's parents were involved but asking didn't help much. Garret is the narrator and the discusssion with Rebercca and Harry mention Garret's parents paying 4,000 a month to have their son kidnapped and sent to upstate. Why? that isn't told just yet. nevertheless it is worth finding out. In Lake Harmony he was placed in a boot camp. He suffers harsh treatment that shall remain nameless until further notice. Garret still ponders why and how he ended up in the place. The story gets deeper in the process.If I were in the Narrator's shoes there would be total confusion and disbelief. The fact that your parents could be involved with you getting snatched out of your own home, it is unthinkable. I would have put up a fight and at least try to run away. They did not tell us Garret put up a struggle in the story. Or maybe not just yet. My question is why are the nappers not ill-tempered and hostile. They seem like rookies and pawns doing what they are paid to do. Nothing more. These were from only 2 pages.

  1. Remember, Keith, you job is to reflect on the book, not summarize it. In other words, what do you think about the characters? What interests you about the topic? How did the author describe the setting and what did it remind you of? Can you make any connections to the characters?

    What a crazy story! I think it's based on the truth.
