• Andrew Smith once again proves his ability to penetrate complex psyches and mature themes within the framework of a spellbinding plot... Smith keeps the tension between Marbury and the present-day worlds as taut as the tightrope Jack walks. As readers, we feel the addictive pull of The Marbury Lens every bit as strongly as the hero does. Just try to put this book down. (Shelf Awareness)

★ This bloody and genuinely upsetting book packs an enormous emotional punch. (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
-
★ Smith follows his last excavation of darkness, In the Path of Falling Objects (2009), with a read that is as disorienting as it is daring... People will talk about this book and try to figure it out and maybe try to shake it off. But they won’t be able to. (Booklist, starred review)

• An engrossing horror/fantasy hybrid…Nightmarish imagery is chillingly effective, and the pacing superbly builds suspense. (Kirkus)
