The reviewer has already discredit this book in his review. There are lots of caution and am wondering that he gave the book 4 out of 4 stars.

Sounds like a wonderful book. The book has a unique plot and the author's effort to present the book from a boy's perspective makes it more pleasing. After all it's a very good review.

The book sounds like a very emotional read. It also addresses a lot of issues that face a lot of people. I think it is worth a try. Although I have never been interested in this genre of books.

The subject of ghosts provides an interesting study for psychologists and mystics alike.

To understand 'ghosts' one needs the help of a genuine mystic or occultist.

I agree with your review and I think the title and cover really capture your attention. I also think the author cleverly writes in the perspective of the young boy that makes it a very unique book that isnโ€™t like any other.

living with ghosts at the age of four I think is something that can contribute alot in making the young boy believe in ghosts. thanks for your fantastic review.

This book seems disturbing to read for me because ghost stories sometimes make me afraid or make me not comfortable. Those who like ghost stories will surely enjoy this one. Congrats on this review.
