Product Description

Book Description
A novel of the American West narrates the story of a dying man's attempts to make peace with his daughter, their struggle to rescue his granddaughter from renegades and slave traders, and his lifelong search for inner peace. The Missing has been made into a major film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett

From the Publisher
The Missing is the story of Maggie Gilkeson, a young woman raising her two daughters in an isolated and lawless wilderness. When her oldest daughter is kidnapped by a psychopathic killer with mystical powers, Maggie is forced to re-unite with her long estranged father to rescue her. The killer and his brutal cult of desperados have kidnapped several other teenage girls, leaving a trail of death and horror across the desolate landscape of the American Southwest. Maggie and her father are in a race against time to catch up with the renegades and save her daughter, before they cross the Mexican border and disappear forever

4.0 out of 5 stars You might already have it!, 13 May 2004
By S. Cowan "suzannefelix" (Cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a great fan of Eidson (and Amazon) and was thrilled at the prospect of a new Western from him. Sadly, it is an old book of his, The Last Ride, reissued under a different title - presumably to match the film title.
There is no indication on front or back cover of this and no warning on Amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars a stunning read...but buyer beware!!, 6 May 2004
By A Customer
Don't make the same mistake I did and buy this book if you already own 'The Last Ride' as it is the very SAME book re-titled!!(Obviously the title of the film).However,I gave this book 5 stars for what I would state as 'one of the best books I have ever read!'. It has everything. It is a beautifully written, heartbreaking story, full of tension which had me enthralled to the very end. Read it before you see the film!

5.0 out of 5 stars Book better than the film!, 25 Mar 2004
By shi_enya (An Ohioan in Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
This book is a masterful tale, rich in the flavor of the 'old west' and full of brilliant characterisations.

If you've seen the film, and liked it to any degree, READ THE BOOK. If you haven't seen the film, READ THE BOOK (and they see it if you'd still like to, it's not bad). The book, however, is much better than the film. I don't know why Ron Howard, such a wonderful director, didn't want to direct a closer version. (Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett deliver great performances tho)

After seeing the movie you'll think you know how it ends, but it's sufficiently different to keep you reading.

The relationship between Samuel and Maggie is explored in all its dimension, and you really empathise with them. None of the characters are cliched; Eidson instills them each with a unique personality.

Running throughout the book are other areas of thought and conflict, ie the meaning of faith, of God, and how to hold on to one's belief.

If you like adventure, Westerns, and characters that linger with you after reading it (I still think of Samuel from time to time) then I recommend this book.
