Sixteen-year-old Blake has always been the responsible one in his dysfunctional family - the one who drives safely, gets good grades, and looks after his wild younger brother, Quinn. Quinn is his brother's opposite - a thrill-seeker who's always chasing the next scary rush, no matter what the cost. But Quinn and Blake are in for the surprise of their lives when they're thrust into the world of a bizarre phantom carnival - and their souls are the price of admission.
In order to save his brother, and himself, Blake must survive seven different carnival rides before dawn. Seven rides; it sounds easy. But each ride is full of unexpected dangers, because each ride is a reflection of one of Blake's deepest fears. And the last ride is the worst one of all. That's the one that confronts Blake with a terrifying secret from his past - a secret he's been running from for years.
Full of roller-coaster twists and turns, Neal Shusterman's latest novel is an Orpheus-like adventure into one boy's psyche.

GREAT book, frustrating reader

A carnival / theme park built and controlled by a supernatural evil. Several rides you must survive in order to return to reality, rides which often attempt to ensnare you, make you forget reality and ultimately trap you in a hell of your own making. And the ever popular "Mirror maze" that reveals things about you, you've tried to hide or deny. And even a car wreck to explain it all. ... Next stop is Willoughby.
despite being very derivative of the properties already mentioned oh, it's also very original and deals with some pretty heavy subjects...
It's a great read for young and old alike, managing to keep fowl language and sexual content to an absolute minimum. Highly recommend and look forward to more from this author.

Good listen

Neal Shusterman has a lot of fun with the metaphorical gold mine of a carnival and its rides, relating them to various forms of teen angst. Adults will find many of them facile and obvious, but never mind, they are perfect for the actual target audience, teenage boys. A short adrenaline rush of a book by a master YA craftsman who should be better known for his body of work.
The only problem is with one aspect of the otherwise excellent narration -- the supposedly frightening and alluring Cassandra gets a voice that is inappropriately childish and whiny.

The narrator, Josh Bloomberg, was fantastic. He really varied his voices and tone which added to the suspenseful mood the story was trying to create.
Reminds me of R.L. Stine books I liked as a teen
