Review by: bob whitehead on Jan. 04, 2012 :
This was a book I may not have tried because of the sheer scale but I downloaded it. It took while but I did get sucked in enough to care about the characters. Mitchell has a vast complex story based around people with awakening powers in a rundown part of the UK. The scenes are well drawn and I was actually walking the streets of the town ith them as Thomas finally realises how powerful he is and the nature of the shadow haunting him. I liked the mix of ancient Celtic and Persian myth about the shadow and the gaurdian angel. I was dreading a comic-book spandex/Heroes treatment at any moment but no, this was extremely dark and the paramnormal ran alongside the normal seamlessly. My favourite scenes were the Incubus in the Classroom and the fortune-teller at the fair... I can't give it a five as the book require concentration to read but yes, a four star will do.
