Beskrivning
I London har længe gemt sig for de større, hurtigere og mere sultne rullende byer. Men nu er det tid til at komme ud i lyset igen og finde nye, svagere byer at jage og fortære.
Under en hektisk jagt på en mindre by bliver Tom Natsworthy kastet ned fra Londons gigantiske stålkonstruktion. Sammen med Hester Shaw – en pige med et morderisk temperament og ar på både krop og sjæl – må han nu kæmpe for at komme tilbage til byen. Det bliver en skæbnesvanger rejse, og Tom erfarer snart, at det ikke er helt ligetil at skelne ven fra fjende …

This is my own personal opinion, not a fact.If you plan to read this book, do not watch the movie first! I watched the movie first and absolutely loved it, but when I started the book I noticed all the differences, as it usually happens. That's not to say that the book is bad or the movie isn't any less amazing.I don't prefer one over the other, I thought they were both brilliant (though the movie has a slightly happier ending, mind you).It feels like it's two different stories that take place in the same world, like two different realities running parallel to one another. One more thing I will say: the book paints Valentine out to be more human than the movie does, so you'll probably have mixed feelings about him if you do both.When I started the book, I was thinking it was a solid three stars, but the book didn't disappoint and bumped itself up to four!
Una historia con mucha aventura y acción, no deja un solo respiro en ninguna página. Además, la historia en este libro tiene un final cerrado, al menos bajo mi punto de vista. Sin embargo, no he conseguido empatizar del todo con los personajes. Creo que pasa un poco por encima, sin realmente profundizar en estos o en sus relaciones entre ellos.Hester Shaw, para mí, mi favorita.
