(só o primeiro capítulo já mata a pessoa. estou no quinto e não vejo como evitar a empolgação, é muito bem escrito de uma maneira imperfeita, tem detalhe, mas é vago, o personagem é estupidamente machista, mas sutil e burro, um pouco amoral, um pouco bicho. não sei. está sendo a minha melhor leitura contemporânea dos últimos tempos.) resumindo: uma violência de livro.

Sixteen-year-old Ariana Benson loves her new job as the schoolteacher in her small frontier town. But her whole life changes one snowy day when she is kidnapped by two outlaws and taken back to their hidden camp, where she is held as a prisoner. Her guard is Laramie, the son of the outlaws' leader. But Laramie is not like the other outlaws. He finds himself struggling with his duties as Ariana's guard, and knows in his heart it is not right to hold an innocent young woman prisoner. And Ariana finds herself strangely trusting him. Laramie comes up with a daring plan to help her escape, even though it means separating himself from his father forever. But will the plan work? This was a decent historical western adventure, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other book I read by this author. This was mainly due to the ending of the book. Toward the end of the book, the author threw in a plot device that seemed to be there in order to place one more obstacle in the path of the characters so that the book would be a bit longer. I still enjoyed this book overall, I just wish the ending had been less contrived. I would recommend this book to fans of the author, but new readers looking to try a Janette Oke book would be better off reading a different one instead.

i came across this book during my freshman year of college, partaking in a book swap with one of the few friends i made at the dorm, jennifer a. i loaned her my copy of 'clockwork orange' and she her copy of 'american psycho' (we were on an ultra violence kick). "most men lead lives of quiet desparation" (henry david thoreau) and patrick bateman is no different despite the many attempts to get noticed by society. there are many instances in which he 'talks' yet his confession is either misheard, misconstrued or largely ignored. no matter how violent his tendencies, he is still the american dream. on a side note: if i ever needed inspiration for creative torture methods, i would definitely reference this book. i loved the 'brand' obsession of the protagonist and the details in his dress.
