[b]Pandora’s Key - an exciting yet fast story.[/b]Pandora’s Key involves a lot of teenage drama, betrayal, magic and mythology and I’d probably recommend it to anyone who likes cliché teenage dramas.I think that the book is pretty poor except for a few exceptions that are decent. ‘Why?’ one might ask. In my opinion the plot isn’t too good and has a lot more potential since I think the concept is good. The plot has some events that are just plain stupid and doesn’t involve any particular feelings about losing anything (there’s probably just one exception to ten). This of course ruins a lot because I feel that some parts could’ve been really well made just if the author had just immersed herself further into the character development, attributes and characteristics of them. Also there are some typos here and there which make things a little bit confusing at times though it isn’t really a big problem compared to my previous statement. Another thing that bugs me quite a bit is the description of the characters. It’s a lot more interesting to read the Iliad if you think character descriptions are interesting since the Iliad is written in a way that it paints up the character for you and everything feels alive whilst the ones in Pandora’s Key feels really static and boring, for example if there’s a sentence that describes the size of I think it was Evangeline’s breasts with the words “c-cup” or whatever cup she has which could be written in a more poetic or elegant way.There are some things I like with the book as well, mainly the language. It’s really easy to read and follow the events of the book which makes you feel more comfortable in reading it. I also really liked the concept, as mentioned previously. Simply because it’s pretty cool but I think it could’ve been written in a more serious and less cliché way. Then it would be a lot better in my eyes, probably since I strongly dislike cliché stories. Some turning points and cliffhangers were also pretty well done which gave you the feeling that you have to continue to read the book. Pandora’s Key reviewPandora’s key was written by Nancy Fischer in 2011. It is about a sixteen year old girl names Evangeline who lives in Portland with her mother. For her sixteenth birthday she is given a mysterious key by her mother. After she gets the key weird things begin to happen. For example: Her mother is put into a hospital where a group of cloaked people tries to kill her.Meanwhile there is a man called Malledy who is suffering from a terminal disease. He is desperately looking for a cure. He believes that the only way to cure the disease is to find Pandora’s Box and Pandora’s key…One of the themes in the book is trust. Evangeline finds out a lot of things about loads of people making it tough for her to trust them. She is confused and doesn’t know who to turn to anymore. Moving on to my opinion, I thought that there were good parts in the book and parts that were less good. The character descriptions were excellent for a lot of characters but there were also some more shady descriptions which were a bit disappointing. Same goes for the settings, some settings were described to full detail while some were not as good. The book was still a good book even though the descriptions had some drawbacks. The plot was good, even though I initially thought that it would be the same as many other Greek mythology themed books. I liked the fact that the author could make it so different. I’ll anyway have to admit that the book was quite slow in the beginning but towards the end it turned into quite the page-turner.Overall the book was quite good, however I wouldn’t recommend it for adults or even older teens. I think that people in their early teens would enjoy it more and therefor I recommend it to them. So if you’re a young teenager, read this book.
What do You think about Pandora's Key (2011)?
In theory this had a good premise but the story just didn't sell it. It jumped all over the place.

Good read for a teenager. A bit predictable.
