Seriously creepy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I believe this book is targeted towards reluctant high school age readers; definitely not a group that includes me. Having said that, I still found this book enjoyable in a creepy sort of way, and think that it will have great appeal for it's target group. I found some things incredibly frustrating. I felt at the beginning like I was being dropped into the middle of a story. I wasn't sure of Jessie's motivations and found her behavior very disturbing. There's not a lot of character development here and the story is told in a "bare bones" manner that some will find odd. It's a very fast read and a very simple story - perfect to entice any middle or high school student who normally won't pick up a more involved tale. Ultimately, I think the author did a good job here. The story ended in a sort of "Twilight Zone" finish that gave me a chill. A solid recommend for reluctant readers with a taste for the supernatural.
