The book sounds interesting with a dose of supernatural, a bit of culture to find out more about Japan and a lot of moral lessons to learn. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Hello Ebele,

Thank you for your insightful review of "Ghost With Two Hearts" by Michael R. French. Your thorough analysis and detailed observations have given me a clear picture of what to expect from the book, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.

I am particularly intrigued by your mention of the balance between the physical and spiritual worlds in the story. The concept of a modern-day protagonist encountering a ghostly presence in Japan sounds fascinating, especially within the context of returning a samurai sword. The cultural elements and the idea of learning about Japan through the narrative add an extra layer of appeal for me.

Your emphasis on the relationship between Adrian and the ghost of Emiko highlights the book's theme of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence despite cultural differences. This is a powerful message, and it’s heartening to hear that the author managed to convey it effectively. The lessons you drew from the story, particularly about imperfection and forgiveness, suggest that the book offers meaningful reflections alongside its supernatural and fantasy elements.

I appreciate your candid remark about having reservations regarding the story's ending. It’s good to know that, despite this, the overall creative writing and character dynamics were strong enough to maintain a perfect rating. Your mention of flawless editing also reassures me about the quality of the book.

Thank you for recommending "Ghost With Two Hearts" to fans of supernatural and fantasy stories. Your review has definitely piqued my interest, and I’m looking forward to experiencing this blend of the mystical and the real for myself.

Best regards,
Karen R.

Noting like learning how to live a better life than through the guidance of a wise ghost. This story seems to have a bit of a different slant than most ghost stories, which makes it all the more interesting. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

It's quite an ambitious undertaking to return a sword taken many years ago by your grandfather to an unknown person in a country you don't know. The supernatural aspect sounds interesting, as does learning about the culture and people of Japan. The lessons of leaving certain imperfect things or situations the way they are, and the importance of forgiveness also hold appeal.
