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!

At that young age many things seem strange, enigmatic. The ghost aspect of life fitts easely into the mind of an 5 year old. Good review!

This is a lovely review. I love how the reviewer has stated the points. I am not a big fan of anything with paranormal activity but since as the reviewer has stated that this book isn't so scary then I think I can give it a try.
Thank you for the review

I have a concern based from the way the review has been formatted. Are titles really allowed after paragraphs. Am a new member here but I am not sure if they are allowed. If am wrong please reply kindly.

Books that are about childhood sexual abuse can be the most type of books for me to read. This experience can leave people with mental issues that carry through their adulthood. I'm going to get this book and I hope the lead character finds the healing he needs.

Reading the sample I really felt bad for little Johnny who lived in a really unhealthy environment for a child his age. I could see life through his perspective. The author really tried to write from the perspective of a child which can be a bit challenging if you're trying to tell a story especially one that carries such heavy themes.

This story is very interesting. It sounds scary but the reviewer says it is not. It was a nice review and I think I will love to read the whole story. Hoping to see a clearer view and to know how this story ends. Congrats on BOTD!

Fans of the horror and paranormal genre will enjoy this book about a young boy's encounters with evil entities - both supernatural and real-world.

Thank you for the concise review. People who enjoy the paranormal genre will enjoy this book. I am not a fan of the genre and childhood sexual abuse.

This book about John' s experiences in ghost when he was just 13 were really saddening. I am very saddened of all his experiences and the ghost and paranormal events here are something that ai avoid so I will pas so on this one. However, people who love this genre will surely love this. Congrats Botd
