A review by trevert
The Gates by John Connolly

4.0

Fantastic! I always wonder how books like the Twilight series can become such massive YA hits when vastly superior books like this don't seem to get the same mass-audience traction. This was loads of fun from start to finish, with a dry, humorous writing style comparable to Douglas Adams. Very British, very witty. What sounds like a horror novel is really a wonderful comedic satire about suburbia and the concept of Ultimate Evil. Many thumbs up!
