One could easily compare the book to the 1959 movie "Tiger Bay" (Haley Mills, Horst Buchholz). A girl is kidnapped and in the frantic journey that follows, a bond is forged between her and the kidnapper. However, in "Ask Me No Questions" the girl is just a little darker - Her behavior throughout the story, and especially at the end, seems slightly less than innocent/moral. The entire book is a little darker than "Tiger Bay" - Moments of true violence still shock me during rereading. The kidnapper is definitely a bad guy, make no mistake. And yet, the relationship between the two by the end seems somehow more than Stockholm syndrome... As I said, the girl seems slightly bent herself and many of her choices seem her own. I suppose some might not give the story that much credit and see it differently.
It would be hard for me *not* to recommend this book since I love it so much, but perhaps that's just my personal taste speaking. I do think it's very well written - I see everything vividly in my mind and even after several readings I find myself entirely engaged in the action. Both characters are interesting (flaws and all) every step of the way. It's considered a YA novel and isn't particularly explicit but I would warn unusually sensitive readers - The few moments of violence are very effective and the characters are definitely dark.… (plus d'informations)
