  • 3 Stars Just doesn't live up to the hype by L. Clare-Panton - Old Windsor, Berkshire UK
  • Enjoyed the book and whilst I thought it was clever in places and a innovative perspective on murder/death, I was disappointed by the lack of tying things together. There are too many devices that just didn't make sense and that distracted me from the beauty of the tale. A good editor could have helped Ms Sebold sort this out before publication.

  • 3 Stars Not in my top ten by Bookwormie -
  • I bought this book after reading some really good reviews but was a little disappointed. Although the story is sad and the idea is well thought out it didn't really go anywhere, you kinda know the outcome in the first few chapters. I always judge a book by who in pass on to next and unfortantly this one got passed on to the back of my bookshelf.

  • 3 Stars A little bit dissapointng.... by K. Grabowska -
  • I couldn't wait to read that book since I heard a lot about it and the story line seemed to be really intriguing. It started off so well as well and it continued to be good untl about half way thorugh. Then it just became simply boring and I just couldn't wait for that misery to finish. I expected it to finish in a completely different way it did. And the bit when she goes down to Earth and is embodied into her friend's body and has sex with her childhood sweetheart? What was that all about, 'Ghost'? I think it's a book worth reading, however, don't expect it to be the best book you've ever read...
