Comments: I LOVED this book and it is definitely in my top #3 favorite list! It is so surprising, and I had tears in my eyes at the ending. It wasn't just a "scary" book or something to try and freak you out, this book actually made you think as you read and explored all sorts of situations and emotions. It is the best ghost/supernatural book ever written - at least that I have ever read. It is also a very "English" book and they use words like "Mum", which I totally love!!!
There are some pretty spooky parts, and in order to be relatable to the ages of the characters, I would recommend this for 10+.
Complaints: Complaints? How could I come up with a complaint about the best book ever known to man?!
Ratings: 5 stars!
