Omani by Laura Gallego- Book Review

Omnia by Laura Gallego was a book I picked out on NetGalley* on a whim, but was glad I downloaded it.

The book is about Nico, who travels to Omnia's headquarters after he accidentally donates his sister's favorite stuffed rabbit. Omnia is a giant company, like Amazon, that sells every single thing any person could want. 

When Nico arrives, he finds a whole new world filled with aliens, robots, humans, and an unlimited warehouse filled with things and humans are banned from entering. The only problem is that now Nico has arrived on the island, he cannot return home. Nico is bound a determined to find the rabbit and make his way home, no matter what it costs him.

This is one of those stories that is simply a lot of fun to read, but has so many plot problems that it will drive the reader bonkers. There were many times I sat scratching my head a bit as one plot point contradicted another plot point, but then reminded myself- the book is ultimately for young readers or readers who just want to go along for a ride. If you are interested in reading this, I would remind you of this point- don't worry about plot problems, just enjoy it.

The book is a translation of a Spanish novel, so there were a few items that might be geared toward a Spanish reader, but they were few and far between. It is an incredibly quick read. I read it in two sittings, but could have done it in one if desired.

I gave this one 3 stars. It was a fun adventure.

*I wish to thank NetGalley and AmazonCrossing for allowing me to read the book. I received it for free in exchange of an honest review.
