the author:
Mario De Martino won readers by publishing exceptional novels fantasy as the heir, the sword of the king and the heir, the seals of evil, also debuting in fiction for kids with Justin and Dave the boy from the future. You are not deprived of the taste of a foray into horror territory thanks to the novel with the eyes of innocence, enjoying the presentation by the writer and bibliophile Simone Berni.
You can then define, rightly, the child prodigy of Italian literature, since it is only 17 years old and attends the last year of high school. But his love for fiction is vast and multifaceted, as well as his talent, and is ready to prove it again with his first thriller, Children of Atlantis.
P remessa.
as The author really knows and has a very good opinion of him this book surprised me, the better!
In my review-comment, I tried to be objective, I think I succeeded.
This was a novel that was waiting to read for a long time and I had really high expectations. I am happy because I was not disappointed, in fact, I was surprised and pleased. It is really worth reading.
The protagonists of this book are three of twenty-five children: Sarah, Ivan and Seiji. From three distant places on Earth the young people find themselves invited to a conference in New York, whose theme is Atlantis. From that day their lives will change as the change agent Robert Gray of the FBI, in charge of solving a complicated series of crimes.
The speed of action of the facts make this book the perfect plot for a thriller.
Reading it just seemed to me to see a movie!
The novel begins with the fast movement of the camera by a protagonist at the novel. At first you are stunned by the rapidity of the changes in perspective, then when is the group of the Sons of Atlantis, the story follows two paths, one of the three protagonists, the agent of Chrysalis and Robert Gray.
In fact, the transfer of register after arrival on the scene of FBI agent, is remarkable. But since it is much better, it welcomes with joy.
Throughout the novel the pace of the narrative involves the reader making it reach the final in a fast-paced crescendo. The final countdown contributes significantly to this end.
I have a lot of fun games, and charades, anagrams, which follow one another throughout the novel.
The finish has a great plot twist of which, rightly, the author had planted evidence in the book.
is really a fantastic thriller that deserves to be read for the originality of theme and story-telling skill to the author.
If a fault I find is in the psychology of the characters and the first pages of the novel. The most fragile of
structure is the beginning when, after a prologue really evocative and engaging, follow each presentation page, perhaps essential to the story, but that could be cured more. Everything changes with the arrival on the scene of FBI, even the style. From essential periods is divided into more elaborate structures. Nothing too annoying, but you do notice the difference in the scheme of writing. Other small
discordant note are the attitudes of the adolescent protagonist. Are not consistent with age, especially with respect to the nationality of origin. Venial sins I would say, given the age of the author, not yet of age demonstrates masterful writing ability.
Finally my congratulations to the descriptions of places: accurate and precise. Wonderful planting of the Metropolitan Museum. Well, a little gem waiting to know which soon follow.
