About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

If you could open a door to anywhere, where would you go?

In New York City, bookseller Cassie Andrews is living an unassuming life when she is given a gift by a favourite customer. It's a book - an unusual book, full of strange writing and mysterious drawings. And at the very front there is a handwritten message to Cassie, telling her that this is the Book of Doors, and that any door is every door.

What Cassie is about to discover is that the Book of Doors is a special book that bestows an extraordinary powers on whoever possesses it, and soon she and her best friend Izzy are exploring all that the Book of Doors can do, swept away from their quiet lives by the possibilities of travelling to anywhere they want.

But the Book of Doors is not the only magical book in the world. There are other books that can do wondrous and dreadful things when wielded by dangerous and ruthless individuals - individuals who crave what Cassie now possesses.

Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the only person who can help them is, it seems, Drummond Fox. He is a man fleeing his own demons - a man with his own secret library of magical books that he has hidden away in the shadows for safekeeping. Because there is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all...

Because some doors should never be opened.

Loved the concept, the narrator and the characters. Very skilfully woven and took me everywhere it went in technicolour.

Literally from page 1 this book had my complete attention. So different from anything else I've read lately, this adventure had me grasped in its unfolding telling. Goodness knows how the author managed to produce & deliver such a compelling tale with parallels to the nature of the real world.
Highly recommended.

So Imaginative & Skilfull

Only finished this book yesterday but I already want to listen again!

Magical, twists and turns at every corner and there was no guessing the conclusion. The characters where as spellbinding as the books.

Can't wait to step back through The Book of Doors again soon 😊

I didn't want this book to end!

What a brilliant sci fi. Thriller of a book that mixes generations and builds beautiful and shocking descriptions in my mind. I’ll be first in line for any new books from this author!

I had to for BOOK OF DOORS! This was such a great book. A wonderful, magical concept, so well executed. I read (listen) to a lot of books, and often don't remember them, but not this one! I thoroughly enjoyed this. The story and the narration were both brilliant. I'm just praying there are more to come!

I rarely write a review but...
