Oh boy, I really didn't see aliens coming after I read the blurb but, okay Matthew Reilly I'll read anything you write at this point. Honestly, this was probably me least favourite MR book that I've read so far, just because you could really tell it was his debut novel. But, other than that this very much felt like a Matthew Reilly action adventure and I loved the idea of using the New York State Library as a labyrinth! And once again, I'm genuinely surprised that none of his works have been adapted to the screen yet.

So begins the journey to The One Impossible Labyrinth with this, the first ever Matthew Reilly book that was published. Matthew is most probably my biggest inspiration of terms of authors, and if I can be half as successful as he, then it will be a good life.

I bought this book for 50p in ASDA on the off chance that I might like it. This is the best 50p spent ever! I loved this book! I was blown away by it's originality, loved the characters and was on edge the whole time, struggling not to turn the next few pages and find out what was going to happen. My only, tiny criticism, is that when I picked it up, I didn't realise it would be alien, or supernatural, I thought it would be a simple, run of the mill, thriller. Other than that, it was AMAZING!!!

The little info they gave about the book, drags you in. i loved it but it was a bit too sci-fi but very different. i throughly enjoyed it,and its a great read if your looking for something different and a thrill.
