"Come and find me 2 years ago"
Six words that have thrown the hockey playing tomboy Arizona in an alternate dimension. Suddenly, she lives the life of an idolized cheerleader.She is from the happy life with her ​​father pulled and pushed into a new, unknown life with her ​​mother hated. All they know as Arizona Darley, but she is not. She is Arizona Stevens. While she tries to find answers for them are fixed only two things: that her mother Olivia is responsible for everything somehow - and that she wants her old life back.
Until she meets Kellan ...
"PORTAL" is the 1st Book in the series "The Portal Chronicles".
First Sentence:
Olivia looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star.
My opinion:
Just she was Arizona Stevens, a Eishokey gambling, stubborn teenager who lives with her father, her mother can not stand and everything else than to a Cheerleader Barbie. But that's what it is all at once, rather than in her father's car, which they collect from the SAT's in the car with her not just in Arizona wakes popular mother and her little sister.
Sound exciting? - It is.
It is right at the beginning, along with the protagonist Arziona almost catapulted into her new life, which is not only for them very confusing. Quickly, I had umpteen questions in mind. Why? Where? Why? How? And especially when?
Properly so found in the book, and I felt comfortable with me. After about 100 pages But from there I really like except for a few things well. The protagonist always feels comfortable in your "new" skin which is not least to Kellan, with whom she has fallen in love. In the meantime, you forget that it's about to learn why the protagonist is in this "dimension (?)" Landed. Because there's so much in her life that would have liked the book even without the time travel effect.
Sent the author Imogen Rose aired by the ever-changing narrative perspective of Arizona and her mother Olivia increasingly Gehemnisse.
But at this point I have to be honest. How exactly does it work with the portal, and why, who, how, where, when there is where he is now, I have not really understood until the last page. I do not know if I simply do not understand, or if it is planned by the author to continue to be looking forward to the next volumes.
If the second be the case, then she has succeeded with me in any case. Because I'm (published in the U.S. under the title: Equilibrium) really curious about the continuation of the Portal Chronicles.
The end is no common cliffhanger, but still does not least because of the many open questions wanting more.
Conclusion:
A great introduction to wanting more.

An excerpt from an interview with the author:
You hear from your readers? What questions are asked? 
I'm lucky enough to hear almost daily from readers. Mostly I am asked for the release dates of new books, or in the order in which they should read my books.
What did you want to be a child again? 
Most people believe that now I'm a movie star or model, but I wanted to be a racing driver.
What do you do when you have writer's block? 
The only time when I had writer's block, was when I had sat down to plan my newest book (integration). It took only a few minutes and was a frightening experience. It was like having to have all my characters suddenly hidden from me. I usually find it easy, just letting it take over the command, what they always do, except for this one time
What is your favorite book and why? 
My most recent book is still my favorite book because I always cease at a point where I really want to start again. The characters are so present in my mind that I myself live practically. A few days ago I was shocked by how it goes with Cordelia, and can hardly wait to find out more. Apart from that I have in my heart a special place for the "Portal Chronicles" because this story to me and the person I am, comes very close.
In which everyday activities, you have the most ideas for action structures and applications? I mean, there is a common situation that stimulates their imagination more than any other?
Yes ... I'm going to either half asleep, just before I get up in the morning, or I'm in the shower.
So and to last there is of course to win something too. So I say goodbye, you say to Ali Potter that I could make on the blog tour and to give from my blogger friend Melli , which makes the final morning of the blog tour.
