  • You won't be able to shake off the impact of this book, even after you've finished reading or listening to the last words "...no matter how long you have been lost, it is never too late to be found." The author skillfully brings to life a frigid, snowy world that seems trapped in an endless winter. Like a realm from a fairy tale, this small corner of the world exists outside of time compared to the rest. Within this world, both magical and horrifying things coexist in equal measure. The book delves into the concept that the human mind will go to great lengths to help one survive abuse and captivity, shielding them from the traumas they endure. Each character in the story must confront and embrace a hidden truth about themselves, which in turn sets them free, regardless of whether they are physically trapped or not. This book is exquisitely crafted, devastatingly beautiful, and leaves a lasting impression. It is a must-read and a masterpiece.
  • The beginning of this book is rather sluggish and it only manages to grab your attention in the final two chapters. Furthermore, the ending feels incomplete and lacks closure. Unfortunately, I did not find this book enjoyable at all. It wasn't the type of book that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and I must admit, I'm pretty let down considering the rave reviews it received.
  • This book delves into the heart-wrenching topic of child abduction, delivering an emotional story. While it doesn't contain any graphic content, it can be difficult to read due to its weightiness. The writing itself is superb, and although there are a few slower sections, the tension builds up like a thrilling novel as the protagonist, known as "the child finder," nears her goal of finding the missing child she tirelessly seeks. The final chapter had me absolutely captivated, with my nerves on edge. And the ending itself was just right, leaving me feeling optimistic and hopeful. However, the narration was only average in my opinion.
  • As someone addicted to series, I devour about 5 books per month. However, 'The Child Finder: A Novel' has truly caught my attention. Its storyline is refreshingly unique, and the writing is well-crafted with careful consideration. I genuinely wish that Rene Denfeld would transform 'The Child Finder' into a series!
  • I had a great time reading this book. I usually finish around one per week, and most of them tend to be longer than necessary. However, this one hit the sweet spot—it grabbed my attention and held it all the way through. I wholeheartedly recommend it if you're into emotional stories with satisfying endings.
  • I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing this book turned out to be. The diverse range of characters that were depicted and the empathy shown by the child finder, even until the conclusion, really resonated with me. Overall, a fantastic read!
