Oooooooooohhhhh...I'm a GHOST! A SPIRIT! Oooooohhhh...I can hear all of your conversations because I'm a poor conceit to make it easier for the author to tell all of the information she needs for this ill-conceived book. Oooooooohhhhhh....
Let's sum up: It's a ghost whodunnit, but not a GOOD one. A good one would be forgivable. This is just lazy storytelling, and that's just not fair for people who actually try to write good books and don't get published.
Yeah, I'm a little bitter about this book. I mean, come ON. The main characters are a mother and daughter who are in comas, so their spirits wander around the hospital (because it hurts them to leave the hospital, of course! But not the garden outside of the hospital! Duh!), solving the mystery of who set fire to the school. Only THEY know everything and can put it all together. UGH UGH UGH.
I gave up halfway through and read the ending and it was even worse than the rest of the book, if that's possible.
Just say no, people. Seriously. Lame.
