A review by pewterwolf
Joe Quinn's Poltergeist by David Almond
3.0
Ok, am giving this 3 stars now, but am a tad overwhelmed over and I need to sit down and think this one over. This star rating might change...
EDIT: Under 3 stars. Review taken from The Pewter Wolf. Book gifted by UK Publisher, Walker Books, in exchange for an honest review/reaction.
Joe Quinn is telling everyone about the poltergeist that is in his house. And no one believe’s him. No one, that is, expect Davie. Davie can’t help but feel that there’s something there and see random objects flying through the air. But there’s something more… memories of his sister and a feeling deep down that maybe, just maybe, ghosts exists…
So, what’s my gut reaction to this?
This is a weird little book.
There is no other way to explain it. I read this in practically one sitting and I kept thinking to myself “I like this, but this is so weird”. It’s hard to describe why I kept walking back to this. The story was good as was the illustrations. But for some reason, my brain kept going “Well, this is odd”.
Maybe I missed something in my reading. Maybe I need to go back and reread. While I did like this, I’m not 100% certain that this book was my cup of tea.
