Three opinions about "Another World"

 

REVIEW 1, by P.

I really enjoyed the book ANOTHER WORLD, but I think the story could have had another ending or more chapters because I wanted to know more!

The plot is intriguing  and refreshing from the start. We can see two main characters; BZ, who is a boy who was born  in Eden City, the fantasy and unreal world. The other character is Eve. She lives in our real world, but she had a secret mission in the other city and we won´t know until the end of the book.

As well as a highly original plot line, the book includes a number of fascinating characters. I only have one negative comment: in my view, the book could have had a more interesting ending like love affairs, deaths, etc. Nonetheless, I didn't imagine such a simple ending.

I would highly recommend ANOTHER WORLD to anyone who likes fantasy stories´s).  Personally, I hope they release a second part!

REVIEW 2, by M.

I have really liked  ANOTHER WORLD,  but I think  the book could have two or three chapters more to explain what was really happening with the girl. Because if not each one could deduce something different from it, like it has happened (4) in class.

The plot is about  BZXY741, a student whose life passes  by in Eden City  and it  seems perfect. But one day he meets Eve, a girl who shows him that there is another real world which  is totally  different.

As well as a highly original plot line, the book includes fascinating places, especially the  elevator  to change  from one world to the other . I only have one negative comment, in my view, the end is not amazing  to me and even I consider it is confusing . However, this is a small criticism of an otherwise excellent book.

I would highly recommend ANOTHER WORLD to  anyone  who enjoys magic or fantastic stories. 

REVIEW 3, by V.

I really enjoy fiction books, so this is the main  reason why I like the book ANOTHER WORDL. I didn´t expect that ending, so I´m I a little  bit confused  about my opinion  about  the book. I have enjoyed  reading it, but I couldn´t say at all if I liked it.

You wouldn´t know what it is going to happened until the end, because the most important part of the plot  is on the final chapters, so this make the story more interesting as you continue to read .

First you find the main character BZ, but soon he meets another important character in the adventure, Eve.

I like the story, the mystery that surrounds the real world, the characters… but I don´t like the ending, I was expecting other more complicated situations or a love story between BZ and Eve. From my point of view, you should read it, because it will be better If you make your own opinion.
