Reader: Sydney TAge: 15
Title: The Gathering
Author: Kelley Armstrong
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books
Pub Date: 4/12/11
Galley: Yes
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: This is a really cool and different book. It takes the whole paranormal theme but in a new direction that has been explored already, but again, changing it so it is original.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: The thing I really like about this book was that it had the whole fantasy grounded in reality thing going, but it was still a unique take on it.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: The book was the first of a trilogy, so at the end it kind of trailed off and didn't have a solid ending. However, it wasn't as annoying as other books like that because it was announced on the back cover that it was part of a trilogy, and kind of prepared you for the drop.
Cover: Yes, the cover was the reason I picked this book, however it didn't really reflect the story (other than that the protagonist is female).
Did you finish: Yes
Age Range: 12-17
Quality: 4Q Better than most
Popularity: 4P Broad general teen appeal
