The book The Chain has been on my must read list for months now. I had a few others I wanted to read before I was going to start this one, but then I saw it made the Summer Book Club on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show and I didn’t want to wait anymore.
The premise of this story is that a stranger kidnaps your child. In order to free them, you must abduct someone else’s child. When your victim’s parents kidnap another child, yours will be freed. If all of this doesn’t happen, your child will be killed. If you contact law enforcement, your child will be killed. If you stray from any of the directions, your child will be killed.
You are now part of the chain.
This novel really makes you think. What would you do in this situation? Would you risk it all by going through law enforcement, or would you break the law and do whatever you could to get your child back safely?
I had a really tough time putting this book down last night, but I finally succumbed to exhaustion around 1 am. Even after thinking about it all night, I still don’t know what I would have done in this situation. The emotional roller coaster that this made me go through is indescribable. You’ll have to read it for yourself.
I have to rate this book as 5 stars. A definite must read. If you’ve read it, what did you think? What would you do?
