 Great series as good as Twilight Saga October 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It was a shame Anthony Horowitz left behind Alex Rider to write Ravens Gate and Jason Steed but they are good books. maybe not for the 14 and under more for adults.
Matt the hero is a great character and you will soon be backing him with his adventure.
Anthony Horowitz has done it again with Ravens Gate October 15, 2008

Anthony Horowitz has done it again with Ravens Gate. This is a great book, How author Anthony Horowitz keeps coming up with all these great series is beyond me. It is given a young adult genre, although some caution with the younger teens, its not Jason Steed or Alex Rider its slightly darker like Twilight.
 As good as Alex Rider September 26, 2008

This is as good as Alex Rider,Ravens gate has turned out to be a great series, written by a very clever author.
I was one of those who was upset when the Rider series stopped, this and the Jason Steed books have taken its place and well worthy of the Anthony Horowitz name.

To be honest, I originally picked up this book by accident. Presuming it was another of Horowitz's addicting Alex Rider series, I had taken it off of the shelf and found it in among my purchase bag as a total surprise. However, this did not stop me from reading this book first out of the many that I usually attain.
I believe this book to be one of the best of Anthony Horowitz, until I read Fledgling Jason Steed. Ravens Gate takes you into a world where almost anything can happen, not unlike Harry Potter books. It is quick paced and encapturing, a lot like the Alex Rider series by the same author. Add a little other-worldy ancient evil into the mix, much like the Midnighter's series by Scott Westerfield, and you've got an instant wonder-book!
In this main tale, long-since orphaned Matt is given unequified punishment for crimes he only partially committed. Stuck to deal with a crazy new guardian in an even stanger new small town of the English countryside, he begins to realize that fate has its hand upon him. He finds evidence to believe that his new legal advisor- even the whole town- may have planned the whole thing, even back to the death of his parents!

I absolutely ADORED this book, and I could not have been more pleased to have 'accidentally' chosen it off of the book store shelf. This book discusses pre-ordained fate throughout witty plot and character developement. Fate, however, most definitely came into my hands in the form of reading this book. Absolutely excellent.

Yes, a scary book. Mock me if you want.
It won't stop it from being true.
There are very few teenage fantasy books that should be made into films, in fact they seem to be making way too many these days, but this one really should be. If done right, it could be a brilliant horror movie.
Although the book is about a teenage boy with a strange power, the book isn't as bad as the description makes it sound like it would be (did that make any sense?). Mostly, it's about the strange village he finds himself in and the even stranger villagers. Sure, it's got the annoying cliche of the kid whose parents died when he was younger discovering his power and that he was actually responsible, but it's still good.
Very creepy atmosphere (yes, even though it's a book) great characters and a brilliant plot.
If you want a break from all those books people are trying to claim 'the next Harry Potter' then get this. And since Anthony Horowitz wrote this book about twenty years ago, but with a different name, Harry Potter is really the next this.
