A review by mindlessly_reading
The Gates by John Connolly

adventurous funny hopeful fast-paced

4.0

What a funny, quick read. I’ve never chuckled or laughed so much while reading a novel. I enjoyed the elements of bringing fact and real life events into this story. Samuel and Boswell are quite the unlikely heroes of such a story. Being 11 is a lot harder than we would like to admit. I chose this purely because of the dachshund on the cover. I am a huge fan of weenie dogs. I’m so glad I picked this up from the library. We’re always told to never judge a book by its cover but in this case, I’m glad I did. God forbid if such an experiment led to demons entering our world and attempted world domination, we have a kid like Samuel and his best bud, Boswell, helping save the world.
