review 1: As someone who is not really into who-dun-its - I found myself enjoying this book more than I expected. It's a very satisfying book, that's really the best word - it's got this incredible very-stylized approach that is a lot of fun, complete with clueless characters who allow for filling out back-story in that detective-mystery kind of way, and later, characters gasping, "[villain's name]!" at revealing moments. Combine that with an enchanting creative world and this book ends up being really adorably satisfying!
review 2: Oona is the most adorable of adorable characters, and if I had discovered this at a certain age, there is no question that I would have wanted to dress like her for Halloween, played elaborate games where I was a crime-solving magical wizar... mored girl, and possibly even written fan fiction giving Oona some new adventures. As an adult, the book is terribly endearing, but feels more like a 45-minute, fantastical crime procedural TV show for Nickelodeon than it does a 348-page book. For all those words, you would have thought there would be more description and character development and less obvious plot twists.But all in all, the idea of a magical street in Manhattan that only opens for one minute at midnight every day is completely fantastic. And the idea to have a protagonist with strong magical talents who just wants to be a detective is top notch. All the people and places on Dark Street also make me want to make a little model-rain-esque replica of the street. less
