Review title: You can't put down this book
Product review: This is the first novel I read by Ann Patchett and it has not only surpassed my expectations it left me wanting to read more. The story line is common, kidnapers and captives start to develop a bonding relationship that is based on their confusion and specific (bad) situation. You know from the beginning of the story how it will end, badly to say the least. But this writer does such an amazing job making you love and understand the characters that you even start to cheer for the continuation of the captivity, for the bending of the rules and success or escape of the so called "bad guys." I never cheered so much for the other side as I did here. The novel really makes you think how nothing is ever black and white, good or bad, or can be judged by a single indicator.Aside for the main story line, the descriptions of the interactions between the different nationalities present were so real and quite comic at times.
