review 1: Well, the one word that comes to mind for this book was challenging. It was challenging for me to read. I had to make myself continue and was anxious to finally be done with it. That is not to say that it was a horrible book, it wasn't - but it was not one of the books that captures you from the beginning and makes it hard to put down. The story is a unique and plausible (in the supernatural realm, that is) and Paul is a likable character. I can't put my finger on what it was that kept it from jumping into the "great" category for me. The relationship between Steven and Paul is a strong tight knit relationship and you have to love Steven for his blind devotion to Paul. The story took too long to develop for me. There was not enough character development to make me invested... more in the story. The only character I felt strongly about was Hodge and that was intense dislike. It didn't seem plausible that Stephanie could be so understanding, being on the complete outside of all of the events and even be able offer advice to Paul with her not knowing what exactly was going on. Maybe it was just me, but this one fell short of the mark for me. Not horrible by any means, but not one that gripped me and made me want to stay up and finish it.
review 2: The book is YA/adventure/mystery. I give this book 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. The author´s imagination is wonderful, he creates a world that could or not exist, after all it is all about gathering information. The author does a stunning job of describing Astralis it seems like I am actually walking through the building and it´s passageways. There are a variety of characters each has his or her own unique abilities and characteristics, my favourite person in the book is Paul who is the main character, he is thoughtful, calm and very insightful. Paul has some interesting moments in the books with his co-workers, some positive and some negative. My favourite part is the description of Mr Paine, in the beginning, the description really formed a superb image in my mind of who Mr Paine is. There is plenty of dialogue explaining the ins and outs of the organization, this does go on a little in parts the overall it is not too much, there is plenty of mystery, which also leads you to the fact that there is a sequel. The book is aimed at a young adult audience but don´t let that put you off if you are an adult, it is a great book, a fluid read, with minimal grammatical and spelling errors, I would recommend this book and I would also read the sequel that is due out sometime in 2014. less

A little flat for me. Interesting concept, but it didn't hold my interest. I read 20% then bailed.

Different from my usual books. Not what I expected, and not my cup of tea.

Started good but became hard to follow and took me forever to finish
