Review: The little boy in this book rather stole the show...
Rating: 4 out of 5

His relationship with his wise and sarcastic uncle is pretty funny as he uses his not so guileless wiles to outsmart and charm the adults in his life.  The ghost story is interesting, although not very spooky.  I am sort of an atmosphere junkie, and I never got any good scares out of this book.  A perfect ghost story should leave the reader with an unsolved mystery and unexplained phenomenon for the best effect.  This ghost was pretty obvious about who he was and what he wanted.  He did use certain creative aspects of communication.  The crime elements of this story were quite shocking and horrible, so it made an interesting balance with the humorous aspects.  The romance was sudden and could have stood a bit more development, but overall it was a  book I couldn't put down until the end.  I will have to wait and see if I'd ever want to read it again.  My opinion about a book the day after I have read it and then six months or a year later can change dramatically.  This was a nice change for this sort of book. ;p  I would certainly check out other books by this author now.
