A work of pure genius. For the people who think Cecelia's stories are too sweet and stuff, this book is completely OUT OF THE BOX. And for people like me who like mysteries but don't want to read the normal 'murder-in-the-dark-alley' books, this story is for you ! I mean, the best combination of mystery and magic, There's No Place Like Here makes sure you keep on wondering about it long after you finish reading it. I love the way Cecelia combines humor with the serious and mysterious situation. I couldn't keep it down after I started reading it - the mystery haunted my mind so much that I just HAD to know what's going to happen next ! I read it a month ago and it still haunts me. It does get a bit boring in a few places but the mystery keeps your mind going on - so that's negligible. Cecelia's done it again - but in a different way :)
Oh, and it has one of my favorite cliched lines -
"Where are we?"
"We're dead."
Another favorite line - "I've been expecting you." :P
Read the book to calm down the curiosity :D
A very fresh read. 4 hearts :) It deserves it - it's absolutely different from what Cecelia's ever written.
Still haunted :S
