After reading the first few pages, I'm definitely sure this book isn't for me. Although this memoir sounds like an intriguing and thrilling read, I'm not sure it's a perfect fit for me because I'm not too comfortable with its strong themes.

To be able to inject humor when dealing with a serious issue has to be a gift. This memoir written from a child's perspective in dealing with paranormal activity and sexual abuse has been added to my reading list. Great review!

I think this book is as thought provoking as it is intriguing. I wonder how this child would have survived those times and what lessons it holds for the reader. I'd love to find out for myself. Thanks for your concise review.

I like the topics covered in the book, they are interesting. I just wish it wasn’t scary. Everything paranormal scares me.

I think the term ghosts has a double meaning in this novel and I’m looking forward to digging into this one to find out about John and his experiences with ghosts and childhood abuse. A sorry told through a child or young kid is interesting and a nice change from the usual.

The title of this book can scare someone away from reading it but the review made it seem like there is no need to be scared. Nice review.

The author of this book does an excellent job of pulling the reader in. I thoroughly enjoyed the innocent childlike voice that I encountered in the sample, and it inspired a renewed sense of curiosity about the world. Childhood experiences and traumas can be ghosts, indeed. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you for your review. I'm still not sold on this books since books with titles that says "ghost" does not catch my fancy. The sampled pages does give the impression that this is a very descriptive literary piece and for the lovers of paranormal this may be right up your alley.
But sincere appreciation to the author for putting pen to paper and bringing this story to life and to the BOTD for another great book!

I really love this book and to any young person I would like to tell you to go and read that book so that you can cherish the memories of yourself when you were young and learn from your mistakes and take an experience as an eye opener.

From a sampling, this was an interesting story about John's developing years and his interactions with ghosts. It might be worth a second look. Well Done.

To those who have trust issues must go and check out the book because who knew or know ghost are real?i mean the boys thought can be a life change to you and perhaps you might start doing things differently and rectify...
