While I can't say I was ever bored exactly, I was starting to feel as if the book was trying too hard, which had me doubting how well rounded it was going to end up. It makes us wait until the end for it to finally become the focus. It kept circling around the actual kidnapping for so long - which was what attracted me to this book in the first place - that I started to feel let down at about the half way mark. But, before you realize what it all has to do with the heart of the story, the book feels like it's dodging the real issue at hand with the introduction of tons of others. For another, it's well written with a compelling narrator who's a realistic portrayal of a teenager with a shattered self-esteem. For one, it ended up being an incredibly heartbreaking, tragic, and important story. I have mixed feelings towards Pointe and it leans closer to a 3.5 read.
