Review: So for some this book might be much more creepy and scary than it was for me.

I admit I was a little worried about this book.  The back cover says not suitable for younger readers.  I read a few reviews that described it as creepy and suggested not reading it late at night.  Consequently it took me over a week to get through because I was worried about the content and opted to not read it at night when I get most of my reading done.  For me it ended up being needless worry.  Yes this book was creepy but not enough to bother me.  Although I admit I’m not a paranoid person and have no problem being home alone and have never feared being kidnapped.  So for some this book might be much more creepy and scary than it was for me.As to what age this book would be appropriate for it would totally depend on the child.  The main characters in this book are 11 years old.  I would not give this book to my 11 year old to read.  She has nightmares and couldn’t handle a haunted house we went to at Halloween so this book would not be suitable for her.  I have a 13 year old who probably not think twice after reading it.The book deals with a kidnapping from the perspective of the boys who were kidnapped which is not a fun subject to read about.  The Long Weekend was well written and I wanted to know what happened to the boys but at the same time didn’t want to know because I was afraid it would be too awful.  There was an element of suspense and the unknown that kept me turning the pages and scanning ahead to make sure things didn’t get too terrible.  I liked the way the story ended.Content: A couple swear words, implied abuse but not graphically describedRating: 4 StarsSource: From Author for Review as part of a blog tour
