Neal Shusterman does not disappoint. A fun romp leading to a somewhat-predictable ending. Apparently there's also a TV deal for this one??? When will we see these TV/film options come to fruition, I'm impatient~~

Kniha mi byla poskytnuta v rámci spolupráce s @knihkupectvi_luxor za účelem recenze. #spoluprace

Byl to normální fotbalový zápas, nebýt jednoho úderu do hlavy, který všechno změnil. Ash se ocitl v jiné dimenzi.

V knize je víc světů, které hlavní hrdina navštíví a Neal Shusterman v každém z nich popisuje konkrétní problém lidské společnosti (rasismus, sexismus, toxický vztah, homofobie a další).

Námět je to skvělý, a i když mi byl Ash sympatický (byl prostě lidský, líp bych to neřekla), z jeho dobrodružných výprav do různých vesmírů jsem tak uchvácená nebyla. Nějak jsem si to zkrátka nedokázala představit. Chyběly mi trochu jasnější informace o tom, jak tohle celé funguje.

Pravidla hry jsou autorovým nejoblíbenějším standalone příběhem, ale já z nich tak nadšená nejsem.

It's no secret I'm a big Neal Shusterman fan. I read this book pretty much in one day and found it engaging, creative, and challenging. That said, of all of Neal's books I've read to date, I thought this one was maybe a little too statement-heavy. It was as if he attempted to take on all of the social struggles of our world in one book, and it became a little preachy with the first person narrative. I think all of the issues he addressed are important and valid. I just think the discussion ended up a little more obvious than in his other books.
