A review by theartofgoldsorrow
Limbo - O poder dos cinco by Anthony Horowitz
I'm actually not going to rate this book, because I read it such a long time ago I can barely remember it, but I will write about it because I do remember the impact it had on me.
It might have just been because I was so young, barely a teenager, reading about such a horrid world and the ending of it that I remember being terrified. The ending of this book felt twisted to me and it gave me such restless sleep for the remaining nights of the week. I remember being horrified and scared and disturbed, and not knowing what to do with myself. And I do not mean this as a bad thing - i think that's exactly what Horowitz wanted to do with this ending. He wanted the reader, I think, to feel the pain and horror of war and the end of the world, and the cruelties of those who think they are immortal. Even years after finishing this book, I still shudder at seeing it when I go to the library.
