A review by troystory
Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

3.0

Definitely an improvement from the first one, though not by much. At least there was a plot, and it didn't drag as much - - plus, the plot twist at the end was actually pretty good, and I didn't see it coming at all. My main problem with this book concerns Jacob's powers. He sees a hollow one time and suddenly knows how to pinpoint exactly where the next one is going to be, even though he just recently discovered his peculiarity? With the other kids, it seemed like their abilities developed over time, but his just manifested really strong in like two days. Slightly unrealistic, but it's not the worst thing in the world so I could overlook it. Also, I loved Hugh in this book. He's the real star of the show.
