I don't think it predicted anything but it was a great read! Reminded me of the movie "The forgotten" with Julianne Moore, which is awesome.

معرفتش مقارنش بينها و بين stranger things طول ما بقرأ ..
اعتقد لو حد هيقرأها من غير ما يكون شاف (أو قرأ)stranger things هيستمتع اكتر!!

Entah mungkin aku yang kurang klik dengan ceritanya atau menurutku terlalu bertele-tele dan banyak part yang nggak penting dan kalaupun nggak ada, nggak akan merubah cerita. Jujur halamannya banyak tapi inti ceritanya cuma di beberapa bab terakhir. Awal-awal rasanya nggak pengaruh banyak kecuali cuma ngasih tau akan eksistensi “Danny”. Dari segi cerita juga biasa, terkesan monoton. Tidak ada plot twist juga karena alurnya mudah terbaca. Jujur juga aku bosan baca ini. Sekian.

Having read 77 Shadow Street and found it pretty creepy, I expected big things from this novel. Unfortunately it didn't quite hit the mark for me.
I found the plot interesting although very reminiscent of something Stephen King would write. I couldnt help seeing similarities between this novel and King's The Insititute, although I'm aware this one was written first.
I also found the hype around this novel supposedly predicting coronavirus massively overhyped and a little ridiculous given the role it played in the novel.
Overall, this gets 3 stars from me.

Leí este libro por lo que decían en internet que habían encontrado en sus páginas acerca del virus y fue una decepción ya que solo aparece esta referencia en el último capítulo y de modo fugaz. No me gustó.

If a western imperial conspiracy theorist chose to write a sci-fi thriller, then this would be it. This book was a shit show in terms of mystery with lazy writing that just explains everything with otherworldly phenomenon and calls it a day. The writing was super cringe, and everyone was just a caricature of some boring repetitive trope or the other (Oh! The main villain is a rich nepo baby who is fascinated by death and loves killing? Get in line). It was a super fast read because of how ridiculous it was, but yeah, I will not be picking up anything by the author for sure.
