I love books with aspects of time travel in them. I always like the idea of changing the past and the consequences it could have on the present. Great review and it sounds like a good book.

I love the concept of this book. Finding yourself watching as someone dies may be kind of creepy, though. However, this looks like the perfect story for me. Thank you for the review!

There really is very little creep factor. You'll have to read it to see, but it's very enjoyable. Thanks for commenting.

Something odd happens to him at the funeral, though. It's a rainy, wet day, and Derek slips on the grass. More embarrassed than hurt, he starts to get up and inadvertently touches a grave stone. He immediately blacks out and is transported back in time. There he watches a young girl named Molly Whipple get hit by a car after roller skating into the street. When he wakes up, he finds himself back in his own time laying on top of a grave for Molly Whipple whose death dates are 1946-1955.
The summary has captured my interest. I'll be reading this book. I'm sure, I'll enjoy the way you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the thorough review.

Wow the premise of the book already has be hooked but your description of the theme that the author tries to convey that we can make a difference is powerful. The fact that a young adult fiction novel is actually using the premise of seeing the death of a person as a special ability is intriguing as this a typically strong moral and ethical content.

It is nice to know that the author did this theme and premise justice in this book and that this is just the first of a series of books to come.

Excellent review! I literally feel like you answered every question I would have prior to making a decision to read or not read this book!

I really like the aspect of considering whether or not the past could be changed. It reminds me a little bit of It’s a Wonderful Life, but in a whole different context and perspective. I am definitely adding this to my ready list as I am looking forward to finding out what the authors perspective is and how she explores the possibilities of changing the past, and what the consequences might be for the future.

As a fan of the Odd Thomas, I find these kinds pf supernatural tales intriguing. Your review of Grave Robbers has certainly compelled me to read this book. Personally, I'm glad to hear the mother took her son's word for it and had him show her his new power. I appreciate reading about parents who support their children rather than doubt their sanity.
