Review: Magical Realism at its Best

While reading the book description for this book I found myself fascinated by the premise of the story plus I like magical realism. I like the concept of facing our problems even when everything in your soul is telling you to run but you stay and fight, whether you're here or in your dreams. So, with that I bought the book and it proved to be rare literary treat as this is a really well written.What impress me was the ability to intertwine such emotion and introspective thought  into the main character, Kuiella Taldama. I think everyone could relate to this young boy at sometime in their lives or at some level of their soul. This book is definitely multi-layered in meaning within the plot. While entertaining in getting lost in another scary spooky reality and dimension within a haunted house, there is also another magical layer of deeper meaning that begs to be contemplated.This is one of those books that needs to be experience firsthand in order to truly grasp the concept and meaning. A really great book that will leave you thinking about things. For some reason this book reminds me of the depth of Leonard Cohen's work, especially his, "Dance Me to the End of Love." This is a deep book that even Leonard Cohen would get lost in.I did enjoy reading this book and very grateful that I bought it, Thank you!
