Listened to this on audiobook. I found the premise of this book to be interesting and fun. But holy crap so much stuff could have been cut out of this book. I almost DNFd in the first third because it was DRAGGING ON. Then things finally start happening and then there's another sudden lull where it's just dragging...I found myself not really caring about any of the characters and what might happen to them.

And why did it take so long for a book called the thousand doors to actually really have things going on with doors?!

I finished it up because as I said, the premise was intriguing and I wanted to see what was done with it. I didn't hate it. But I didn't like it and it's not one that I will be recommending to people.

Perfetto per adolescenti.

... e NON è una critica, eh. Al di là del tema "il capitalismo e lo sfruttamento dell'ambiente (sotto metafora) fanno schifissimo", si tratta di un libro perfetto per adolescenti sia come protagonista che come tipo di problemi personali in cui la protagonista si dibatte. Quanto alla struttura narrativa, contiene alcune scelte di trama che possono ad alcunz sembrare un po' trite, ma è principalmente una questione di chilometraggio letture, non di età.
