Wanted was a very cool novel! My version is the paperback from 1997 so the yellowed pages and thickness of it made it even more easy to get into the mood. I must say I enjoyed Caroline Cooneys novel as much as another Thriller. It was kind of perfect, the arrangement of things and the reasons for other things to happen, it was just perfectly written. Alice was a good main character but a little slow sometimes. I dont know if its because Im seeing it from the readers point of view but I justThis book was AMAZING! I loved how there was a mystery throughout the entire story. It's not one of those stories where you automatically know who the killer is. This story is a real mystery that takes the entire book to find out. There were some moments when I had to read over the page again because I just couldn't believe it! The action starts right from the very first page so you are never bored. I would recommend this book to any one who likes a good mystery.
I remember being in High School and just going into the library whenever I felt to look for a new book. It wasn't of much variety due to limited stock but this book really pointed out among the racks. I decided to read it and give it a chance due to me not liking the crime, and keep you on the edge of your seat type of books. I thought this book will be another one of those cliffhanger type of books that gets lost in the pages BOY! was I wrong....for this being the first time reading Caroline B.

This book is very nostalgic for me, both because it's from '97, and because I read it twice in high school. It was one of the few books that really drew me in and kept me going, especially since the plot is fast-paced and takes place in the span of about a day and a half. I like when stories can accomplish a lot in a little amount of time. Most people know Caroline B. Cooney for the Face on the Milk Carton series, but for me this book was a lot better. I havent read that many of her books, but
I feel like this book had a lot of potential for being a memorable fast paced thriller. The plot itself makes you want to pick it up and find out what happens next. However, after reading it, I felt like that I had wasted my time reading this lackluster thriller.Firstly, I felt the pacing of the story was a bit haphazard and the storyline had a lot of unwanted information that was not needed. For instance, when Alice meets Paul, do we really need half a page of how she knew another Paul from
Cooney is an amazing storyteller.She keeps you guessing until the end.This book will capture any mystery lover from the very first page until the last page.They will not want to put it down until they find out what happened.
This is the first book that I've ever read that I have given a one rating that was NOT a DNF. I actually read the entire thing ( or actually, listened to it) *sigh* I would not recommend that.......It was so frustrating- I just kept thinking "seriously- are you really that clueless?" About the incredibly stupid things done by the main character Alice. It was just to frustrating to me. Very slow moving and not realistic with a very sappy ending.
