5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful page turner with intriguing characters, June 14, 1999

This review is from: The Kidnapping of Aaron Greene (Hardcover)

Since ..WHITE DOG I've been a Terry Kay fan, and I wasn't disappointed this time either. I believe Mr. Kay is a highly underrated author. Barnes and Noble doesn't even have this book in stock. John Grisham could learn a thing or two from the ending in this book. At the end you felt as if you'd gotten your moneys worth, that the author has respected his readers intelligence and stayed true to his story...didn't cop out with a cheesy ending. If you haven't read other words by Mr. Kay, give them a shot, you won't be disappointed. A very versatile author, and I always look forward to his books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing questions, January 24, 2001

This review is from: The Kidnapping of Aaron Green (Mass Market Paperback)

Aaron Greene is kidnapped on the way to his job in the mail room of a bank. There is no obvious reason for his kidnapping. Aaron is a "nobody", the type of person that people just don't notice or remember. The kidnappers demand 10 million dollars to be paid, not by his family, but by the bank. The manager of the bank can't even place who Aaron is and refuses to pay the ransom.

Aaron's kidnapping becomes part of a media circus. Who is Aaron? Why was he kidnapped? And who is ultimately responsible for someone no one can even remember?

There are many wonderful characters in this book. People that you remember when the book is finished. There is humor and friendship and caring and also some surprises.

Terry Kay can take a subject and completely turn it around into a whole new story.

If you want to try something different, read this book. I think you'll like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars In one word - EXCELLENT!, March 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Kidnapping of Aaron Green (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first book that I've read by Terry Kay - I held me entralled from beginning to end. Wonderful characters, great plot line and a clear message that people never REALLY see you. I felt strongly for Aaron Green - and thought the ending of the book (the whole book) was brillant! Kudo's to you Mr. Kay, looking forward to your next novel!
