thehappylittleelf's review
Ah, the honor to be the first to review this book on this website!
This book is something else. The author gets really defensive about his... belief? Non-belief? I actually don't know what the hell the author thinks. He does go one weird tangents trying to justify his choices. Like, he just had to explain why most of the stories in his book took place in Britain by trying to explain that British people just see ghosts more, or that they study ghosts more, or whatever the hell he was trying to say. I was thinking, "Dude, chill. No one cares most of the stories are set in Britain," but it was like he pre-imagined a criticism a theoretical reader might have and constructed arguments around that non-existent criticism.
The whole book is sort of like that.
Also, there are some absurd conclusions, like claiming that a ghost must be real because two people saw it, and it's unlikely two people would lie. TWO PEOPLE LYING??? That situation has never happened in history!!!
I DNF'd even though it's a really short book. Mostly it's because I've been spoiled by really good ghost stories and I just couldn't take how amateur this book was. Read The Telltale Lilac Bush by Ruth Ann Musick for a really spooky time.
