Riassunto

While Mary lies in a glass coffin aboard a ghost train heading west, her minions are awaiting her re-awakening by bringing lots of new souls into Everlost to serve her. Meanwhile Jackin' Jill has met Jix, a fur-jacker - a skin jacker who can take over the bodies of animals, most notably jaguars. Jix serves a Mayan god who collects Everlost coins, and has his own agenda. In the concluding volume of The Skinjacker Trilogy, Neal Shusterman reveals new sides of the characters of Everlost, who are pitted against each other in a battle that may destroy all life on Earth.

Recensione:

PRAISE FOR EVERLOST: 'As well as imagining what comes after death, it examines the corruption of power and the nature of redemption. But this stuff... is rendered less terrifying by the vivid world Shusterman has created in Everlost, the pace of the adventure in the narrative, the black humour, and the wonderfully original use of language. Shusterman writes with a great ease and so immediately invites his readers right into the middle of his world. I completely believed in Everlost right from the get-go... But before you get too carried away with it all, Shusterman nips in with an out-of-the-blue contemporary reference...so that you laugh out loud. So it's part zany adventure, part philosophical enquiry, and part coming-of-age - even if it's a ghostly coming-of-age. It has great writing, interesting worldbuilding, and ethical challenges. It also has the most marvellous twist in its tail that I should have seen coming but didn't, because I was simply too absorbed to think outside the immediate pages. I hate writing reviews of books that I have loved because I always make them sound less than they are. Everlost is more than I make it sound. So your children should read it, and so should you.'
