I was surprised at how much I have enjoyed reading Gustav Gloom to my kids, ages 8 and 10. The story moves along at a brisk pace, and I found myself continuing to read the book after they went to bed. Some elements may be a bit too scary for kids under 7 or 8, but if you are looking for a children's book that will provide a fun, challenging read for kids aged 8-15, you will find few that are better than this.

I cannot wait to see further adventures in Gustav's world. Highly recommended

OK, let me start by saying I am 45 years old and just read Gustav Gloom And The People Taker. Who says it is only for kids? I adored it! There were no slow parts in the book from beginning to end. What a great mind Mr. Castro has with such strong characters. The only problem is having to wait for the next book to come out. How could this possibly get any better? Not to give anything away, but I had to wipe my eyes at the end! I just want to hug Gustav! I can see a Tim Burton movie out of this series!

My two sons fought over this book when we received it -- I bought it for my youngest, who's 10; he started reading it, and talked about how good it was, so his older brother stole it and started reading it. So the younger son stole it back, and then there were Issues. Happily, all was resolved ...

My 10 year old said he liked it but it was a bit creepy. In this book, shadows can leave the people who are casting them, and he thought that was pretty cool. He was pleased when the cat's shadow went off and became a giant tiger...

No detailed review from the older boy, except that he's looking forward to the next one.

I don't often read children's lit, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Fantastic entry level horror for young readers, but there's still more than enough to keep adults entertained. I read the kindle version, and I'm going to buy a physical copy for my girlfriend's niece, probably for Xmas.

If ever a book deserved to be given the big budget movie treatment, rendered in IMAX, 3D and 60 frames per second, it would be GUSTAV GLOOM AND THE PEOPLE TAKER. And even that might not match the imaginative and elegant prose of author Adam-Troy Castro. What a world he creates! Can't wait for the next volume.
