A review by superleeni
The Deep End of the Ocean, by Jacquelyn Mitchard
3.0
The story of the kidnapping of Ben Cappadora being kidnapped is gripping and moving, but at times there is too much introspection from his mother, Beth. I found the way the older brother reacted to his brother's kidnapping interesting, and I would have liked that to be explored some more.
*spoilers*
I found the ending to be a little too convenient, that Ben came to the door years later asking if they wanted their lawns mowed. I was glad that he was found alive, but I think that there could have been better ways to end the book.
