The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike
3.0
A pretty solid ghost story. My only issue with The Graveyard Apartment is that it suffers from what I call the Hugo Effect.
Victor Hugo is one of my favorite writers, but he's also the only writer that I prefer to read abridged. He was enamoured with architecture and poured so much detail into his fictional buildings the story was sometimes tough to follow.
This one had too much unnecessary detail for my tastes. the 320 pages could have easily been knocked down to 250.
