Commentary Concering Books Evil Star (The Gatekeepers #2)
Matt thought his troubles were over when he closed Raven's Gate . . . but in fact they were just beginning. His fate -- and the fate of the world -- is tied to four other kids across the globe. The second is a street kid in Peru. He and Matt have never met; they don't even speak the same language. But destiny is going to throw them together as the evil threat of the Old Ones grows . . . and another Gate suddenly comes into play. Another masterful thriller from supernaturally suspenseful Anthony Horowitz.Details Regarding Books Evil Star (The Gatekeepers #2)

this book was really interesting. I really loved it when Matt no matter what kept going to stop the old ones and even though Pedro and Matt don't speak the same language, Anthony uses imagery to show how they communicate. He uses a dream which is almost impossible, and that's what readers want to read.The first book is eally good so I'm starting the second book, EVIL STAR! I hope it's even more interesting than the first one!
Right after the creepy movie-like Chapter 1, I already knew that it will be an awesome read. And man, it was indeed awesome. I am itching to give this book a 5 star rating but I find the first book, Raven's Gate, more awesome. I guess I just find the witches as enemies more haunting than a freak business tycoon. It has the same gripping edge-of-the-seat pacing but the first book is creepier and it's more of an adventure tale than a horror story. That is the reason why I'm giving it a 4 star
Ouch.I really liked the first in this series. This one lost my interest early on. Maybe it's just me. I always say that when a series of books inexplicably seems to crash for me. Was it the writing? Was it the characterization? Was it simply this one volume?I can't really say except that this seemed very repetitive. Our young hero whines about being "forced" into the situation. "I didn't ask for this", "Why me?" on and on. "I just want to be able to be normal", "I just want to be left alone".
Richard and Matt take a trip to Peru, where Richard is kidnapped and Matt meets Pedro. He is another one of the five, a street thief who Matt can share dreams with, and claims to have no obvious powers of his own. They encounter modern Incan "Indians", misshapen business man Salamanda, corrupt cops, and hints of a traitor within Nexus itself - and find themselves before the gate that is the Nazca Lines unlocked by the "evil star". One star taken because I felt Peru could have switched places on
For now I quit at 30%. After so much fantasy with big scope, big themes, just generally adult stuff... this just doesn't really cut it. Maybe I will finish it, it's not offensively bad, but for now I would prefer to return to Abercrombie or Butcher.
