What do you get when you mix elements of Harry Potter, Stephen King, and Night at the Museum together You get Raven s Gate.This was a very quick and enjoyable read and had me on the edge of my seat I could hardly put it down Of course it is a story or Good vs Evil I fell in love with Matt the minute he was introduced and knew there was to him than met the eye And the unfolding of his story was done very well and in such a way that you were hooked from the beginning to the end.It is the first bo [...]

This book was kind of cheesy Ok Not just kind of Really cheesy.I can picture it Horowitz sitting down to write Stephen King for teens Except that Stephen King for teens doesn t have any of the interesting scary bits that normal Stephen King does.Matthew Freeman or just Matt, because reasons is 14 and an orphan and apparently super important to the sort of person I imagined a Satanist to be when I was 10 TL DR synopsis view spoiler Dead parents Crappy aunt takes him in Crappy aunt doesn t like be [...]

This is a pretty good book I wouldn t say there were any memorable moments that I really adored, but the overall story was quite interesting It had quite a pace and barely slowed down I was hooked from the start and I am definitely going to read the rest of the series Eventually.Butthere was something missing Don t get me wrong, it was suspenseful It should be a mini series.Let me see how I can phrase this.It wasring No Slow Definitely not It just didn tresonatewith me Yeah, I know it sounds pre [...]

Raven s Gate is the re written form of The Devil s Door Bell published 1985 , I can t comment on what has and hasn t changed in the text of this version and Anthony Horowitz s book published over twenty years ago I do know that the Pentagram Chronicles was a series that was never finished I think that The Gatekeepers is finished In Raven s Gate, orphan Matt Freeman and his friend Kalvin break into a warehouse and are caught in the act, Matt is given the option of possible jail time because the g [...]

I m always on the lookout for things that would interest my nephew, partially because we share a taste in books Or at least, he reads many books that I liked when I was his age As such, I usually tend to read much of the new books before I send them to him.Raven s Gate is the first in a series of 5 books by Anthony Horowitz The first book follows Matt, a young boy who has been enrolled into the LEAF program after being a somewhat unwilling accomplice in what should have been a simple snatch grab [...]

4.25 stars I really enjoyed this book It was fast paced, thrilling and creepy in all the right ways I ll be continuing on with the series and I m most hoping to see some character growth from our protagonist because this was the first book and there was a lot of build up, I feel like I didn t really get to know Matt as a character most of his thoughts and dialogue were related to things happening around him which is why we didn t get to see him as himself I actually laughed out loud quite a few [...]

There s very little in the core story of _Raven s Gate_ that s original Horowitz borrows heavily both from older sci fi fantasy horror works Lovecraft and Stephen King, most noticeably and mythology to create a world within a world that in no way feels either new or particularly scary If you read enough in the previously mentioned genres, you will have seen nearly all of these concepts used at least once elsewhere, and probably used better And if you have seen them, then this story becomes utter [...]

This is the start of a new series by Anthony Horowitz, bordering on mild horror I did not find this nearly as good as Stormbreaker I felt like the first half of the book was spent setting the scene, with the protagonist, Matt, feeling bewildered by the unusual turns his life has taken As part of an alternative discipline program, he has been sent to live and work in the country with creepy Miss Deverill and her even creepier handyman, Noah When he tries to escape, all of the roads lead back to M [...]

Debating between 1 and 2 stars I decided to go 1, because I didn t like it The best thing I can say about it, really, is that it was short I will say 1.5, though, because I usually reserve 1s for books I just completely hate, and this didn t even annoy me enough to make me hate it it was just stupid.Basically, it takes a ton of horror story cliches the ubiquitous Old Ones from another dimension wanting back in, the crazy villagers wanting to let them, performances of the Black Mass, which seemed [...]

First off, i want to say that i read first Necropolis which is the book 4 in this fabulous series.The gatekeepers is sooo awesome , it has supernatural events, suspense, action, it s thrilling, it s so wonderful, i love it.Even though i first read the book 4 in the series, i could perfectly get into the story, Anthony Horowitz, explains there some things that happened in the previous books, so that if someone like me happened to commit the mistake of reading the 4th book first instead of startin [...]

Um livro que combina v rios g neros, como o sobrenatural e o suspense N o foi um livro que adorei mas li com entusiasmo, sendo que ficou muita, muita coisa por explicar, o que funciona como uma chamariz para termos mesmo de ler os pr ximos livros Um leitura agrad vel, para quem gosta do sobrenatural mas sem nos apresentar nada de verdadeiramente original

As long as I live, I will NEVER forget the exhilarating, beautiful, original and suspenseful entertainment of The Gatekeepers series, or all of Anthony Horowitz s writing in general I seriously wonder why it is not popular Perhaps it got overshadowed by the Alex Rider series I can t see how their genres are entirely different.When I first read Raven s Gate, I thought, judging by the summary, that this would be mature enough for me to read I was in the seventh grade, but I was an avid reader Rea [...]

I didn t read this book, I devoured it Never mind the fact that I have read it before in the distance past, even when the memories of the book seeped back into my brain I didn t care because it was so damn good.This book is simply magnificent, it is strange, mysterious and at time freaking terrifying.Someone should really consider turning it in to a movie, its simply that good.I love Matt as a character, he is not whiny or incompetent rather he comes out strong and a little rebellious The only p [...]
