Four Stars
Nick and Allie don't survive the car accident...
...but their souls don't exactly get where they're supposed to get either. Instead, they're caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no onger exist. It's a magical, yet dangerous place where bands of lost children run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth.
When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost kids, Nick feels like he he's found a home, but allie isn't satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the "Criminal Art" of
haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.
In this imaginative novel, Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what just might lie in between.
Woah. That was awesome. Nick and Allie are both in cars and accidentally crash into each other.
They see this tunnel with a light at the end of it, but don't go in. And then, they wake up in a forest and find out its been nine months. And then, they find out if they step on land, they will sink to the center of the Earth.
The characters were very interesting. I like the different viewpoints. I could relate with the characters.
The setting was well written, as was the dialogue.
The plots of all the books seemed reasonable.
I was a little confused and bored throughout the novels, but otherwise, the series was great.
Loved this mini review!! Honestly, I've held this book in my hands, but didn't get it. Just felt like it wouldn't be one I would enjoy. Not sure if I will ever pick it up, but glad you liked it!
