Raven's Gate

The Gatekeepers, Book 1

De: Anthony Horowitz

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

Matt is being punished for a crime he saw, but didn't commit. Instead of being locked up, he is being sent to the middle of nowhere to live with a new foster mom, as part of a government scheme called The Leaf Project. But Matt's new home provides anything but peace and quiet. His new guardian is involved in very sinister things, and the whole town seems to be on her side. Everybody who tries to help Matt winds up disappearing, or dead. The truth is much bigger than Matt or the town, but Matt is the only person who can stop the ultimate evil from being unleashed.©2005 Anthony Horowitz (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The real-world setting gives this an extra frisson of horror, and Horowitz's vivid descriptions are not for the fainthearted. It's what's inside all the thrills, however, that makes the book so strong: characters that readers will care about and root for." (Booklist)

Great book series

If you loved books like Harry Potter you will enjoy this series. A bit less “cozy” than HP but a fun read with frankly better writing. Fantastic narration as well.

This is really good. . .

We listened to the story when we began our vacation. We all enjoyed the story so much that by the time it as over we were almost at our destination. I wished I had gotten the next novel.

Fun little mystery/fantasy

Pretty fun read. However, for a young adult novel, it got pretty dark right at the end.

I could not stop listening

I love the story completely I can't wait to get to the next books and the narrator is absolutely amazing.

Narrator was amazing and story was just as great as I remember

Wonderful reading and voices. Story was just as great when I read it as an early teen! Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Not bad

This started out really well, compelling story about a boy in a juvenile offenders program from hell. Sadly towards the end it becomes a bit silly and goes on a bit long. But it was free and the reader was quite good.

Fantastic book...

Where does Raven's Gate rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favourite audible books so far.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Listened to it whilst cooking, walking the dog,... basically ANY opportunity!

Great listen

I liked this book quite a bit. I'm constantly looking for good books of the genre and this one fit the bill. Narration is very good as well. Too bad Audible doesn't have book two in the series.

Good story good narration

This was a good story the author has an interesting idea of the end of the world. I look forward to reading or listening to the rest of them.

OK for this type of story

If you like the Harry Potter type stories, it’s pretty good. The narrator is excellent!
