Customer Reviews

Evil Star. NOT ALEX RIDER or JASON STEED.
Dont get me wrong its a great book, LOOK I gave it 5 stars. But I was expecting it tob be like Alex Rider of Jason Steed. After Ravens Gate I thought it would be better.
Its still a great novel and I recommend it although not for under 14.

Not great, but still good
So Ravens Gate was brilliant and the problem with a sequel to a good book or film is that it'll probably always be compared to the first.
So I won't do that.

The start isn't great. The basic plot is that Matt finds out about another gate, and has to go to Peru to try and close it where he meets another boy who looks familiar.

The middle isn't great either. Nothing much happens and there's a predictable twist. But the end is brilliant. Action packed, just like the first book (whoops) and I thought the ending was going to be horrible. It isn't.
It's the worst of the three so far, but that doesn't make it bad. It still introduces great new characters and would make a brilliant film.

Like the others, Evil Star is a gripping novel
Evil Star is a great read, that will have you on the edge of your seat - hooked and eager for more, no matter how old you are.

In this, Evil Star, Matt Freeman gets, inevitably, up to his high-tech adventures once again. There is no disappointments, although it takes a considerably longer time to get into than the other three. Evil Star is a very realistic tale, and can ease you into thinking it's real and it's happening next to you. If you're reading it while the rest of your family are eating their dinner, or something similar, and they ask you a question - prepare to not answer, because you're so hooked it's automatic. The storyline is easily believable, but don't be led into the trap that makes you think you can be like Matt himself.

Evil Star is amazing, and makes you want to read on.
