Another Faust book review by Meg Y.

A dark eerie feeling will fill you heart as you turn the pages of Another Faust, By Daniel and Dina Nayeri. The chills of seeing Victoria, Valentin, Bicé, Belle, and Christian living in New York City will flood your mind. Stolen from their homes, they are given a choice of freedom and the home they have, or things they want so much they will do anything to get them. The authors make a wonderful brother- sister team whose writing style will leave you wanting more. The defined personalities of the characters give you a good sense of how the story may play out, but you will probably be entirely wrong. A retake on a classic story, it makes an interesting piece of literature, especially for those who have not read the original. There are Faustian bargains through out this book that will send your mind spinning. A fantastic composition, but a book-lover may have better luck with this book than a negligent reader, for some parts might be a bit confusing. An overall amazing find that I hope will be succeeded by many more sequels. I recommend this book for a dedicated reader, or a teen of high school age.
