ژانوس، ستاره‌ی آرزو by Anthony Horowitz

I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this book! I’d even go as far as calling it a Masterpiece! I had read it previously about 20 years ago but I only remembered bits and pieces, mostly due to the fact that when reading as a teenager I was often easily distracted and probably failed to take it all in. I’d like to wager that I appreciated it more this time around. The Switch is not just about two boys switching places, there are so many layers to what The Switch really is that I won’t go into because I always keep my reviews spoiler free but what I will say is that this is most definitely a fish out of water tale with a twist, I am actually surprised that there has never been a movie adaptation of this because I for one would love to see it, this book is massively under rated and definitely my favourite Horowitz Book so far!

I needed a short lil book for the drive home, for a short book it sure did have some fun elements but was mid…hence the 3.

If it was possible to give this more stars trust me it'd get them all this book was raw in a beautiful way it had moments that made me want to scream and sometimes cry. There was a lot of beautiful messages in the book and the ending was definitely bitter sweet I don't think I'll ever get over this

I love how we have a dark twist on the prince and the pauper. I honestly love to see stuff like this!
This was a book that made me shiver, mostly because its very creepy but I loved it! I love it when a book makes me feel this way!
Also I love the ending, and I appreciate how its a bittersweet ending too!
I highly recommend this if you are looking for a quick and interesting read.
