review 1: It took a really long time for me to really get into the book. It was slow to start and none of the characters managed to catch my attention. None of them were really interesting. I loved the concept of the book and I may continue reading the series just because the concept is amazing, but the execution still remains tedious. It was kind of disappointing tbh, because the cover looked so exciting. It looks like it promises a chilling, possibly horror-filled, ride through something fantastical. In reality it's the real world with something evil in it. I assume that the author has read Lovecraft and tried to make the bad guy Lovecraft-inspired, but failing miserably. I know Lovecraft is adult fiction and this author aims for youth fiction, but nah... The storytelling is too s... moreimplistic. The only thing that made me smile occasionally was the several references to Doctor Who and Star Trek, coming from the main character who's a major nerd.
review 2: За жалост след сравнително обещаващото начало, книгата беше доста мудна и откровено скучна на места. Към края се пооживи, но все пак не успя да си заслужи 3 звезди от мен. Доста предвидима, с приятни, но прекалено очевидни послания (остава усещането, че авторът те мисли за тъп и ти смила значението на всичко), емоционалните уж моменти ми седяха някак изкуствено и не можаха да ме трогнат. Очаквах на края финалът да е по-силен, предвид че повествованието вървеше така, че развръзката да е в най-най-последните страници, но и това дори не се случи - оказа се, че има продължение и реално всичко си остана точно толкова абсурдно, колкото и до тогава. Очаквах доста повече предвид сравнително високият й рейтинг. less
