Beautifully done!
I love found family! It is just so heartwarming. This book has so much going on, but takes you on this beautiful, humbling journey. It is an adventure and tries to also teach you about balance in the world. I loved the characters. I loved all of their connections to each other, even the villains. It showed that one persons decision can truly have consequences for others. I loved Cassie and IZZY! It was a fun ride and one I would recommend and take again. I could not put it down and was mad when I had to sue to life getting in the way. Thank you for the fun journey!

A new twist in Fantasy
I rarely leave reviews unless I feel that a book is exceptionally good, or horrendously dreadful. The Book of Doors is fantastic, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m not going to summarize the book, because there are already lots of reviews that do that, and you can also read the Amazon description. Suffice it to say this book is filled with memorable characters, witty humor, sheer terror, and is completely engrossing. The concept behind “the books” is so thought-provoking, I find myself hoping that there will be sequels.This is the best book I’ve read in quite some time!

Wow!
This was a great novel, and it makes me want to read more by Gareth Brown. I didn’t even notice the name of the author when I started reading, and I was shocked to finish and see that a man had written it. He wrote Cassie, the main character, and her friend Izzy so well that I just assumed the author was a woman. His male characters are also written so thoughtfully; I really appreciate great characterization. As for the story, Mr. Brown seems to have really done his research on how time travel would have to work if it was real! This is the only story (book or movie) that I’ve experienced where I understand the concept of time travel. And it is fascinating to see how everything comes full circle. Overall, I’m really hoping a sequel is planned; I really want to know if Drummond and Cassie and Lund and Izzy get their happy endings!

Best book I’ve read in a long time! It’s a clever well written story with really interesting characters. I agree with other reviews that the violence is a bit disturbing, however, it tells the reader the magnitude of the evil that the good guys are up against. Great twists and turns, and fancinating that we get to see Cassie develop so much over 10 years, when the story actually only pans out over a few months! I finished the book with a smile on my face, like I was holding The Book of Joy ð . Can’t wait for more from this author.

I haven’t quite finished reading The Book of Doors yet, but it’s the firsy novel in a long time that has caught my attention with an interesting story that offers enough mystery and fantasy to make it something out of the ordinary. I like the main characters, however, I find the villains too downright evil. A little less would have made them despicable, rather than atrociously horrible. All in all, a very enjoyable read, though!

“Okay, so ‘The Book of Doors’ totally blew me away! It’s like stepping into a whole new universe with every page turn. The characters are so real, you feel like they’re your BFFs by the end. And the adventure? Non-stop excitement! Seriously, if you’re looking for your next read, this is it. Trust me, you won’t be able to put it down!”

So I read the premise and liked the reviews so gave this book a go.The technology reminds me of a cross between the SciFi Film Jumper and Monsters Inc! With some interesting twists added.Is is a great story that flows well. Easy to pick up and is engaging.Is it a book that will appeal across all ages. I have given it now to my 12 year old who is enjoying the story, such is the diverse appeal.All in all a good light story and good escapism, as every good book should be.
