Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Patricia S. (Yankton, SD)
Wish I liked this better
I was somewhat disappointed in this novel. The characters were well developed if not completely believable. The action was fast paced but really fizzled out in the end. The author did a good job of establishing suspense, but the climax was disappointing in its blandness. I thought the subject matter could have led to a much different and better novel without becoming voyeuristic. Too many underdeveloped and unresolved threads for my taste.

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Wendy F. (Kalamazoo, MI)
Where You Can Find Me
Unfortunately I was disappointed in this book. I thought the premise sounded so interesting and was looking forward to reading it however it just didn't quite measure up. I felt Lark got lost in the story and could have been developed a lot more. Marlene seemed unbelievably permissive once they arrived in Costa Rica especially the way she was portrayed in the beginning of the book during the time Caleb was gone. It held my interest enough that I wanted to finish to find out what happened but I found it dragged a bit.

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Sarah H. (Arvada, CO)
Getting lost...
...is not the same as losing yourself in a book. "While Where You Can Find Me" had the potential for the latter, there were times where the flashbacks made it feel disjointed. The story was original and heartfelt, but the hit or miss characters and back and forth timing made it fall short.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Elaine M. (Beaver Falls, PA)
Where You Can Find Me
This was a very memoriable book about life after a kidnapped child is returned after three years. Sheri Joseph uniquely reveals each character's thoughts and fears about the kidnapping and aftermath. When the family relocates.the reader sees how the characters grow and adjust to their "new life". Through flashbacks. the reader learns what happened during the child's kidnapped years. This book was a fast and unforgettable read.

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Sherri A. (Westbrook, CT)
Where you can find me
I really wanted to love this book--and I could have, if only Marlene were not a part of it. As a character, she failed miserably. I found her to be predictable, and, yawn, boring. She was more alive when her son was missing then after he was found. the parts of the novel where Caleb thinks back on his "Nicky" time are alive, vibrant, and left me wanting more; much more. The page-turning ending? Another yawn as well...

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Debbie M. (Grand Junction, CO)
Where You Can Find Me
Caleb was kidnapped at age 11 and returned to his family when he was 14. He's trying to find his place in his family, as his family tries to adapt to having him back.
It was an interesting subject, but I found that the story dragged in places and I had trouble connecting some events that were described. I also, felt the ending was abrupt, leaving me with unanswered questions.
