They Never Came Home

I read the book they never came home by Lois Duncan, the first copyright date is 1969, it is a mystery. The book is about Joan who's Brother and Boyfriend go missing. Joan's family  thought it had to be an accident they all thought they had to be dead but Mr. Brown calls and said that Larry Joan's Brother owed him over 2,000 dollars, well it turns out that Larry's Job was delivering Marijuana too party's. He owed 2,000 dollars in Marijuana. Well when Him and Dan Joan's boyfriend went on a camping trip Larry pushed Dan into  a cliff, so that he would hit his head and not remember a thing. He drove him out to California and they started new lives. While Everyone at home suffers thinking they are dead or something. You will have to read the book to find out the ending. I think the authors purpose for writing this book is to create a mystery and a great read and it teaches people not to just run away from there problems. I would say the theme of this book represents acceptance, peer pressure, and revenge. It was a well written interesting mystery, it wasn't scary, but you were always asking yourself what, who, when, how ,why.

  The narrator makes it sound cold and mysterious which it is, the author gave plenty of explanations to help you understand the story, the argument in the book would be if they were dead or alive. I think the book was interesting, accurate, it had great objectives, important, thorough, and useful, i think all the authors arguments were right and true, the same thing with her opinions, i agreed with almost all of them, because they were all the same things i was thinking about as i was reading, i think the book gives you great visualizations in your head the book had many things going on at once and there wasn't a boring moment, there were many possibilities and things i thought that weren't true which i like that it kind of drones on even though you just want it to end, there were no problems left unsolved, there were no unconvincing points the book was excellent. Lois Duncan means different things to different people she has written over 50 books and won many awards, she attracts young adults, she has an interesting writing process, she has a great reputation, she is qualified, a great influence, and a great background, she liked reading books like her own when she was young and that's why she wrote books like this.
