ladykatka's review against another edition
3.0
2.5 stars.
I found this book both intriguing and dull at the same time. I could tell that it was meant to be a page-turner but yet I didn't feel like I had to keep going, it was easy to put down. Some parts were interesting whereas others were non-sensical. Lots of things were just brushed aside with a sort of shrug from the characters. "Why did this happen" shrug, "How could it happen this way" shrug. Which feels very disappointing.
That being said, I think my 12-year-old self would be very happy to read this book, and considering that is really the intended audience it is a decent book for what it is. I would recommend this to any kid who likes to read goosebumps but is looking for something a little more advanced and less formulaic.
