This is an amazing supernatural thriller novel highlighting ghost, paranormal haunting, humor, and a story through the eyes of a young boy. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has a masterfully-crafted OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

The boy who lived with ghosts is a paranormal thriller with a focus on a young boy's personal experiences between the ages of four and thirteen. While the review does sound great, I'm not sure it would be a great read for me.

I can't imagine how a boy can live with Ghost, how will it look like? what will be the relationship between the boy and the Ghost? This book must be interesting, I must read it. Great review.

I'm just okay to read frightening books. I'm fascinated to find out what was is like to encounter ghosts and finally if he found deliverance, how it took place. This will appeal to mature fans of horror thrillers. Congrats on today's BOTD. :twisted:

John Mitchell's astonishing first book is a gripping tale of suspense, terror, and humor. Above all, I'm fascinated with how a young child overcame every obstacle and hardship he faced, particularly in dealing with poverty and an alcoholic father, and especially in overcoming the persecution of her sister Margueretta. Furthermore, I enjoy the story because it tells about Jesus and is simple to read.This is a one-of-a-kind book that everyone who enjoys suspense, horror, and humor should read.

A brilliant read if you ask me. Haunting but a hilarious one. Something that is beyond ghosts and many others. It's mind-blowing how he recalled his own self way back in 5 and 7.

Sounds like an interesting book to read. I am captivated by the way the author narrates serious issues such as child abuse through a child's perspective. This will help readers to know how a child feels, the emotional and physical breakdowns they go through or deal with on their own.

I'm not much for reading memoirs, and I typically stay away from anything in which child abuse is featured. Therefore, I'll be taking a pass on this one. However, I read the first several chapters. I must say that Mr. Mitchell is a gifted writer. I wish him all the best in finding an appreciative readership. Congrats on BOTD.

This is another story about child abuse. I don't know if I will have the heart to read this sad story. Still, I sincerely hope that John continues to heal.

Since growing up I’m a haunted house, it would be interesting to see another person’s perspective on living with ghosts and difficult memories. I look forward to this read.
