What do you think about the storyline? I personally enjoyed the mix of OK (Old Knowledge) and NK (New Knowlege via Google).



Fantastic "mystery" kept me turning the pages. Fun characters, as well.


It started out intriguing but became so boring that I just couldn't finish it. Such a shame because I was really hoping that it would be a great read.

veoneo I agree with you. I did the same thing. It was starting to get too boring for me and I also gave up. I did give it a chance too. I got fairly far into ...more

I loved this book. It was better than I expected it to be. It was fun and mysterious and I just couldn't wait to see how it all turned out. I thought it was a great, fun book.


After reading a few negative reviews, I didn't think I would enjoy this book, but I did. The characters were fun, the story was interesting and a little different than what I'm used to.
The only character I didn't care for was Kat. She was an arrogant little twit. Hated her.

Agreed, good fun, mysterious... I live in the area, so that may have influenced my feelings, but think I would have enjoyed it anyway.


I finished it, but I wouldn't really recommend it, nor would I read it again. I *wanted* to like it a lot, if that counts for anything.


I like the book, young characters, modern point of view of the old books - very interesting and different.


I thought it started well and then became a bit plodding.


Well I am very much surprised at some very negative comments for this book. I wouldn't expect such extremes in book readers. Personally, I liked this book and when reading it I found it as interesting and similar to : The Shadow of the Wind, The Name of the Wind , Ready Player One and others ...


Fun is the most frequent word used to describe this book and that's because it is exactly that. It's a fun, modern adventure story, perfect for a world that is increasingly becoming less of an adventure.


I really enjoyed this book. I can't put my finger on what I liked so much, I just did!


I really enjoyed this book! I had no expectations but am so glad I read it. It's quirky and fun!
