 Rating:  - BeautifullThis book kept me company when I was having a bad day and I could not put it down. Such a lovely story although I did cry a tear or two, but that's what made it even better! Rating: - best book i'v read this yearI'v just finshed reading this book,i got to say it's amazing,one of the best books i'v ever read,i'd just finshed reading twilight and this was recommended to me.The story will stay with you long after you've finshed the last page,buy this book you will not be sorry. Rating:  - Good, with a few gaping holes.I admit, I'm bemused by this book. On one hand, I wanted to slap down five stars because it was so very compelling - I read it in two days, which is no mean feat when you're the working mother of two small children! But at the same time, while reading I kept having moments of, 'Hold on, that's just too implausible, even for a book about body-hopping ghosts.' I think - at the risk of sounding flippant - that this book suffers for being the author's first novel. If it hadn't been, I suspect many of the things in it that struck me as rushed, superfluous or confused wouldn't have been there. I also think that the chosen (or assigned?) genre ended up being a detriment: yes, it's set in a high school, but the themes are very much adult ...

The whole god idea too, them not being let into heaven because they had done something bad was good too and getting to the end and finding out what they had done was chair gripping. Also at the end i was in tears how they had lost each other only to find themselves in heaven together again and even though it doesnt actually say Jenny and Billy get together im thinking they ... Read More: Rating: - beautifully written, wonderfully thoughtful with an inspired endingCaptivating and engaging, the story grabs readers from the very first page. It goes as follows; Helen, a ghost, "attaches" herself to human hosts to avoid the grave and the painful and frightening torments that go with it. The author leads readers to think she has been subjected to some sort of divine punishment for some misdeed in her life. Although her hosts are unaware of her presence, she has love for them and try's to help each one throughout their human lives. When she realises a human hears and sees her she is shocked - and at first, understandably, frightened. From that point readers are captivated by a story filled with passion, hope, understanding and finally enlightenment. It is a special book with an ending that not only gives peace to ... Read More: |
