Veramente molto bello, mi è piaciuto moltissimo, un libro che ha mantenuto perfettamente tutte le aspettative che avevo.
Intrigante, avvincente, emozionante, interessante, intelligente e anche, in alcuni punti, molto divertente, un libro che consiglio in tutta la sua lunghezza perché riesce, oltretutto, anche a farsi letteralmente divorare.
Una storia complessa, che si dipana man mano e che riserva tantissime sorprese ma che, alla fine, nella soluzione, risulta di una semplicità quasi disarmante.
Tantissimi gli indizi sparsi per il libro ma è solo alla fine che si riuscirà a capirli esattamente tutti e nulla della misteriosa e terribile vicenda di Nola resterà in sospeso.
Imperdibile. ( )

This one is a fast paced and entertaining novel. It was an easy read and had an interesting moving storyline. I did not feel as though there were any boring/slow pointes, the events kept it entertaining. The storylines flowed nicely together in the end and was left open for a sequel.

I would give this book a 4 out of 5. I was not too big of a fan of the ending and there are a few loose ends that I felt were not wrapped up with the complete storyline and its parts. I would still recommend it to read. ( )

This is an awful book, the plot is ok, I mean is a thriller so any kind of basic plot can deliver, but it is really, really, really badly written and with some important inconsistency. But one last thing hit the reader in the final page

****SPOILER***"

so is it me that I didn't understand it, or in the end nobody reveals that Caleb wrote in fact The origin of evil? They make believe he wrote the other book? WHY? ( )

Es un libro que ofrece todos los elementos de una buena novela negra, intrigante y adictivo hasta el final ( )
