گرفتار رگبار مرگ

Darkhill Scary Stories #3

by Keith Robinson, محمد ورزی (Translator)

رگبار باران به شیشه‌ی پنجره می کوبد. رعدوبرق جولان می‌دهد. تلفن قطع می‌شود. خبری از برق و اینترنت نیست. اهالی دارک‌هیل مثل زامبی‌ها توی میدان شهر جمع می‌شود. جادوگر وسط جمعیت ایستاده با کف دست‌های بازکرده رو به آسمان. توی هوا شناور می‌شود، انگار صاعقه‌ای او را از زمین بلند کرده. پرتوهای زیگزاگی انرژی دورتادورش روشن و خاموش می‌شوند. بخاری شبیه شبح مارهای شناور از دهان جمعیت بیرون می‌آید و می‌خزد توی دهان جادوگر و غیب می‌شود.
جادوگر انرژی صاعقه و نیروی زندگی مردم را می‌دزدد. همه‌ی اهالی دارک‌هیل بدجوری گرفتار شده‌اند ...

[Kimberly · Rating 2 out of 5]

With this book, the perspective switches from Ben to Emma. This is something that I ordinarily would not mind, but for some reason, I didn't like her narration as well. There were also 'jokes' or 'gags' that felt forced or were extended for too long. Furthermore, the use of a human antagonist in this book could have been intriguing, but, while still fantastical, the concept and consequences were too close to reality. Also, there is too little reaction to the seriousness of how the town, especially Emma, was affected. Maybe this will be addressed in subsequent books, but in all honesty, I'd rather just move on and pretend the events of this book didn't happen. However, I do like the respect with which parents are treated in this series, and in this one, finally, they get involved.

A wonderful series that I'm reading to my fifth graders. They are loving it. They read the first book in a small group, and we are now reading the second. This third one is excellent, and I hear that a fourth is on the way!

Another case for the darkseekers and another case for me to get all the investigation knowledge of it.
The plot was certainly good, along with the characters as well.
Was not expecting that ending at all but it definately had me hooked from the start.
Now onto the next case.
