I have seen the book marketed as something you shouldn't read after dark. I thought it might be something to attract the attention of kids. Obviously it was but I do have to say it was very spooky. I was actually a bit surprised at how "intense" it was at points. I thought it was going to be one o...

What a pleasure it was to read this book. I kept trying to predict what what's going to happen and, luckily, there were a couple unexpected turns here and there that had you wondering what the outcome of some situations would be.
