Začátek byl slibný, hodně slibný. Příběh je rozdělen do dvou linek (přítomnost a minulost). A na začátku byla hlavně ta přítomnost, ve které byla El a Hooper přesně takový, díky čemuž se řadí mezi mé oblíbené postavy.
Linka z minulosti obsahuje Hooperovo vyprávění, jak řešili jeden případ v New Yorku. I to mi ze začátku přišlo fajn, drsný případ okultních vražd, tajemno a mrazivo...prostě super.
Potom se to ale přehouplo, a najednou se do toho zamotaly gangy a vyloučené skupiny lidí. A tam už mě to přestalo bavit. Prostředí mi vůbec nesedlo. A po zbytek knihy jsem se do čtení musela až nutit a kolikrát jsem radši četla něco jiného. Nebavilo mě sledovat to chování gangů a děj umístěný do rozpadlých částí New Yorku, chlast, drogy a tak dále. Ale musím říct, že jsem si oblíbila agentku Delgadovou.
Ve výsledku je pro mě kniha jasný průměr, škoda. A o dost více mě bavil Temný experiment než toto. Ale pokud máte podobné prostředí rádi, tak směle do toho.

Just like the first Stranger Things book, this isn't what I was expecting, however still enjoyed it overall. It took me ages to read as I was finding myself sometimes enjoying it and sometimes a bit bored. I'm a huge Stranger Things fan so I am glad I read it to get an insight into Hoppers life before Hawkins.
