Title: Ouida Sebestyen knows how to write
Product review: I read The Girl in the Box once in my life, and that was about 6 years ago, when I was 11. Ever since then I have searched for it off and on. I was beginning to doubt the book ever existed, but it left such an outstanding impression in my mind that I have always wanted to re-read it. The plot of Jackie McGee being mysteriously kidnapped and locked pointlessly in an underground cellar is a freaky vision. But what made the books message really strong was the descriptive way Sebestyen explained her ordeal, even when the girl's situation was grim. It was a mental blowout, how moving the book was, and the ending just drops off, leaving nothing known. In some ways I like that, some ways I don't. But I think the neutral ending is one of the main reasons I am so anxious to re-read it, to see if I can find a hidden ending somewhere this time around. The book is wonderfully written and mentally explorative, great for most ages. Read it, you won't be disappointed!
