Kid reviews for Neverworld Wake

This book, a mix between Inception and Groundhog day, is a very well written psychological novel, with complex caracters and situations. It's confusing and dark but brilliant. Better for older thriller fans that'll understand it.

Moderately violent with occasional language and talk of sex. Complex story and characters. I couldn't put it down.

Deals with multiple plots extremely effectively whilst still tying together a great ending

It's a amazing book, don't get me wrong. But I really believe that the messages and the dark themes this book gets across (possible suicide, self-harm, family issues) shouldn't be read by those younger then fourteen or anyone not mature enough to accept these. It kind of messed with my mind and gave me a mini premature existential crisis. The plot twist at the end absolutely destroyed me, this BOOK destroyed me. (I'm still a little hopped up on adrenaline from the plot twist.) It as suspenseful, my eyes just could not stop devouring every word. For fourteen years old and up, I think this is a great book for anyone who wants anything mysterious, dystopian, fantasy, romantic, adventure and more to read. I really recommend this.

Because this book has a very complex concept and has a couple of uses of f***ing and sh**, I'd give this to kids 15+. This was very intriguing and mystic, and can be read in one sitting!

Neverworld Wake follows five friends who meet up at an estate a year after graduating from a prep school. Their first night at the estate, a man called the Keeper tells them that they're all nearly dead and they will keep living the same day unless they can vote on one person to live-the other four must die. I say 16+ because of violence(characters buy guns and raid a police station, one character commits suicide but as he is in the Neverworld his death is not permanent, a man is kidnapped), mentions of sex, language(a couple uses each of f---, s--t, sh--head, da--, and god----), and drinking/drugs(there's a drunk driving accident, characters frequently get drunk and throw up, one character admits to being a drug dealer). Although I think the author can do better, I still thoroughly enjoyed this psychological thriller that you will race through and be on the edge of your seat the entire time.
