The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud
4.0
This book starts off right away with some creepy events! I actually felt scared for a bit, and was happy that I was reading during daylight.
I like the characters in this book (3 totally different people), combined with the "world" they live in. I love the fact that you get to know some more about Lucy's past. It's not too much, just exactly enough to understand her. The characters don't feel like 15/16 at all to me.
It would be nice if I knew there was a word-list in the back of the book, that explains some of the terms used. I found out after I finished the book, and I believe it could actually add something to the book. So use it if you are going to read the book!
I was suprised by some of the plot twists, and the ending was very well written. The whole book builds up to the ending and this makes you want to keep reading.
The end of the book was also a nice little suprise, it already builds op to the next book, so I will definately read that one!
I gave the book 4 stars, because of the last 3 pages.
