Why read it?
1 author picked Stolen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This disturbing and sensual tale of a teenage girl kidnapped and held by an obsessive young man was something I had to read in a day. The writing has a kind of D.H.

The story is also gripping, a page-turner, and such a wonderful examination of where love and obsession meet, of Stockholm Syndrome and survival, and the jumble of feelings from the most animal to the most selfless that we all have to pick our way…
From Patrick's list on teenagers in love and lust.
