PERSONAL OPINION:
With this overview as suggestive, who can resistirce to read this book? ^ ^
The story is told by Ethan, the protagonist. Live in a dull and in which nothing ever happens, but this summer something to CAMI in Ethan's life: dreams. He is wearing all summer dreaming of a girl asks for help, as it is about to fall, and holding her hand trying to save her, but finally falls ... the strange thing is that your face is always blurred and has not gotten her, but always the same dream. And something else, suddenly has a downloaded song as he does not remember but that sounds familiar, the song of the sixteen moons.
finally start a new course and other surprises will come up, there's a new girl in school. The girl is Lena, a girl rare and mysterious aspect that arouses the curiosity of Ethan, because without knowing why, felt a connection with it.
One day after returning from a big storm broke class and Lena is standing with her car on the road. When you have to help her she refuses and holds his arm to face, to find out why he behaves well and does not want his help. It then passes. Something is awakened in the mind of Ethan and suddenly you can see the face of the girl of his dreams, he seeks help and can not save ... That girl is Lena.
(...) Lena looked up at me and the whole world sevaneció when he did, as if we were just two of us, as if always going to be and not nesecitásemos magic to it. It felt happy and sad at the same time. I could not be around her without feeling things, without realizing it. (...) "
just found something a little negative in this book is that until something more action begins the book is very slow and sometimes is even heavier, but still worth reading.
A fantastic book, full of mysterious creatures and magic that envelops you in its atmosphere of mystery and action and does not let go until the last of your pages. Undoubtedly, deserves my 4 kittens:
