I may not fall into the target audience, being several Decades to old, but I still can unleash my inner teenager and can thoroughly enjoy a well-written, urban fantasy novel Aimed at this age bracket. 'The Gathering' is definitely on entertaining, suspenseful story with interesting characters. Having read quite a number of books from this genre there are Certain aspects are indeed predictable, but without them this would not be the kind of book I expected to read when i bought it. More Over, Even When One Knows That Certain things are going to happen, if the book is well-written, the characters are interesting and the plot progresses nicely the factthat some points are predictable do not matter and I still enjoy reading the book.
For the friends of urban fantasy Certainly this is a book I can recommend.
