To tell you too much about the seven interconnected stories would be to give away too many of their delicious secrets. Ima i više logičkih propusta/neuverljivosti koje su već nabrajali i drugi prikazivači pa ja ne moram (osim činjenice da neko ko je umro 2002. A young journalist named Eric arrives on a remote island, where it is rumored that the people live forever. He endures terrible nightmares, full of blood and violence, and at the last, just as the islanders drag him to a stone table to kill him, things become clear in his mind.

It is something of a cliché for a reviewer to claim he devoured a book in a single sitting, and I have to admit that is not the case here. We are very soon in Wicker Man territory, with our hero doped up on the local narcotic orchid, vaguely aware that something creepy is going on around him.Other notable award winning books include Floodland, Marcus’ first novel, which won the Branford-Boase Award in 2001, a prize for the best debut novel for children published in the UK each year; My Swordhand is Singing, which won the Booktrust Teenage Prize for 2007, and Lunatics and Luck, part of The Raven Mysteries series, which won a Blue Peter Book Award in 2011. The two lovers flee, but are quickly captured again and dragged back to the stone table where they are murdered side by side.

Não me importei muito com todo o mistério da ilha, mas o clima que ele proporcionou foi interessante e me deixou curioso até o fim. And by way of these distinctive narratives we are startled to encounter characters we have already met in the earlier stories, characters who care, hate, most of all, two who love throughout eternity. The 2011 Eric knew where the past Viking version of himself was buried, he also knew the life he had wasn't his last one.I sada na samom kraju, ne znam da li sam ovaj uzdah ispustila zbog toga što je priči kraj ili zato što sam konačno završila ovaj vremeplov koji mi nije dozvolio da prestanem sa čitanjem.
