Review Detail

Wow, what
a book! I'd have to say that it's the best book that I've read lately.
Reading from Nick's point of view was very refreshing. It was like being
inside the head of the ultimate bad boy, the one that all of the girls
swoon over and who you know that you should stay away from. It was nice
to not see the story as the swooning girl. Though sometimes I really
didn't like Nick at all, but that was okay, in those places you're not
supposed to.

All
of the characters in this book are extremely complex and real. I don't
know how she did it, but I felt like I knew all of the characters. The
imagery is really good too. I could see certain scenes, such as the
Goblin Market, like I was there. And the plot...

The
book starts out relatively straight forward: Nick and Alan are running
from magicians with their crazy mother because she has an amulet that
they want and if she takes it off she dies. Jamie and Mae come to them
for help because weird things have been happening to Jamie. Some things
happen and they figure that they have to go hunting for some magicians.
By then I figured that the rest of the book was going to be all about
the problem presented in the first few chapters. I was way off base. So
much more happens. The drama, the mystery surrounding Nick and Alan, the
action. It all adds up to an awesome book full of everything that you
could ever ask for. I devoured it.
