This seems to be an interesting book, but I doubt it falls under the list of books I'll like to read. Thanks for the review though.

Whenever I see or hear about a book on ghosts, I think of sinister beings doing horrific stuff. It's nice to hear that the story is a lot different. I'd like to see how different the story really is.

The boy who lived with ghost by John Mitchell was made me curious and scared when I read the review. It has written the childhood of John and his fight with ghosts. I’m eager to read this book.

From the review,The boy who lived with a ghost,is a haunting story that talks about a young boy's ghostly encounter.
But sadly,this isn't my genre of book,I can't read horror.

The author has done well putting together this book. The storyline is unique but somehow this doesn't fall into the category of books I'll like to read. Good review

John's story seems to be an awful one, yet there were lessons learned from it. Thanks for a well-simplified review. Congrats on being on the BOTD.

This seems like a book that readers of the paranormal will find worthwhile. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't agree more! Real people and real circumstances bring the horror to this story. I realise the paranormal content of the book is important to the plot but for me it can't seem worse than the suffering that real people cause to children, in whatever country or era.

Based on the review, I can draw a conclusion that the book isn't an horror book but an insight into a child sad memories.
Am sure it would be a great read. Thanks for the review.

This sounds like a deep but disturbing book. I don't think this is the right fit for me. Thanks for the detailed review, though.

The book sounds interesting. We all have things that scare us, but in every adversity, there is an atom of opportunity. Congratulations on BOTD.

Sounds quite interesting. I will make out time to read this book. For a book to remain relevant after several years is a huge success. Kudos to the author

Between the ages of four and thirteen, John's childhood and life experiences include ghostly encounters. Some topics appear to be more sensitive. Interesting book title choice as well. Thanks for the review!
