Listened to the book on cd. I would give this 3.5 because the ending seemed a little too neat. Very imaginative ghost story!

Excellent read! A lot of mystery. And if you like that uneasy feeling over your shoulder where you can't feel you trust anything around you, this is for you. It can be sad at times, but the payoff of each sections is more than worth it.

Spooky, intelligent, and entertaining. I went in with zero expectations...and maybe that's the key. Perhaps it could've been fleshed out a bit more but regardless it was a great read. Haven't read The Bone Clocks yet but there was a tiny connecting thread near the end and this book seemed to also leave room for a sequel.

This was a quick but very impactful read. It took weeks for me to to stop thinking about this book. The characters, the setting, the twists… was just SO good.
