Liesl & Po by Lauren Oliver

3.0

I had higher hopes for this book. It sounded like such a great slightly supernatural (ghost) story of friendship surpassing boundaries. It is about a ghost (who is both/neither boy or girl) and a girl who become friends which I did like, but couldn't get behind 100%. I liked Liesl and Po but I didn't really buy into their friendship as written since SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER Po seemed so indifferent to Lisel at points until he/she was in the living world more and then Po would back slide somewhat to indifference. There were qualities of this book that I enjoyed and believe a certain type of child, teen or adult would also enjoy it. Unfortunately the qualities I did enjoy were fewer than I expected so I had to only give it 3 stars.
