À propos de cet audio
The Abernathys don't mean any harm by their flirtation with the underworld, but when they unknowingly call forth Satan himself, they create a gap in the universe. A gap in which a pair of enormous gates is visible. The gates to Hell. And there are some pretty terrifying beings just itching to get out....
Can one small boy defeat evil? Can he harness the power of science, faith, and love to save the world as we know it?
Bursting with imagination, The Gates is about the pull between good and evil, physics and fantasy. It is about a quirky and eccentric boy who is impossible not to love, and the unlikely cast of characters who give him the strength to stand up to a demonic power.
John Connolly manages to re-create the magical and scary world of childhood that we've all left behind but so love to visit. And for those of you who thought you knew everything you could about particle physics and the universe, think again. This novel makes anything seem possible.

not for me
I picked this up on Audible not realizing it was a kids book. Mea culpa. So, I'm obviously not a kid, and I'm not a YA aficionado, so anything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.
I think if you or your kid enjoys British humor, this should be a winner. If, like me, they don't... maybe skip this one, because the humor (or attemps thereof) is unrelenting.
The story is cute, the asides are interesting (though the tone was a little weird- like, I'm not sure if they kind of insulted kids' intelligence, or overestimated or both?), and the protagonist is reasonably well-developed. The scenes where the townspeople fight back were kind of delightful.
It was a solid ok.
