I found Johns story to be very sad. Yet he accepts it all as it is. I agree he sees it all through the eyes of an innocent child. His language seemed much more mature than any language of a child his age. But I figure he’s just repeating what he hears.
The ghosts are scary. I do wonder if they are real in the story, or if his mother is correct in her assumptions.
This is a good review.

Sounds an interesting read. Being a paranormal fan this would be definitely up my street. Will look forwards to reading it.

The last book I read was Coraline, which is really different from the books I normally pick. I found some portions of the novel unsettling at first, but the ending was rather predictable. I'm not sure whether I can tolerate The Boy Who Lived with Ghosts after reading the review. Will my inquisitiveness triumph over my fear?
