I am a UK amazon customer and have started copying my reviews onto here to help support the indies/less well known authors.  Here's what I said on amazon.co.uk:At 22, I am not the target audience for this book. However, I do enjoy the occasional Young Adults fiction book when I'm in the mood for a nice bit of light reading and am pleased to say that this one did not disappoint. My only slight criticisms (and I emphasise the word slight) are that I found the constant reminders about Jimmy's sad home life a bit tedious and unnecessary and also that after spending half the book setting the scene, I felt the actual Ghost Town part of the story could have been longer and more detailed. I suspect the repetition thing is just the downside of reading a book aimed at a much younger audience than myself and I think the fact I wanted to hear more about Ghost Town is actually a good thing- it's a sign that I was gripped by the alternate realm and didn't want the story to end! Like others have said, this very much feels like the start of a series and I must say that when I finished the book, I found myself wanting to know what happens next to Jimmy. So I'll be eagerly awaiting the follow up (which I assume will focus purely on the next part of Jimmy's task now the scene has firmly been set in this first book) and I hope it comes out soon. Any adult who is a bit of a big kid at heart will enjoy reading this- it is perfect for when you fancy curling up on the sofa for a couple of hours one lazy Sunday afternoon.
