This sounds like a good read. I don't really like reading books on ghost because of my previous experience with a book I read about ghosts. With the 4 stars this book has, it is okay to say that this is a good book. Nice one. Congratulations on being the book of the day! Nice review.

From the title, I can tell of the intrigue. John's life seems unique and the book seems like a blunt account. Must be a fascinating read. Congratulations on the BOTD.

At first glance, I'd have thought it's a horror book for kids. I'm interested to know about someone's childhood experiences with ghosts, so I'll check this out. It's understandable that there's a few mentions about adults in this story since it's from a child's perspective. Congratulations on the BOTD.

It's an automatic no for me. I'm too much of a coward when it comes to paranormal encounters.

It seems like a story that can make someone pass. However, I still found it intriguing. John's experiences were soul-touching.

The name alone is captivating. And, I'm glad that the book isn't very scary, so those who are not horror buffs can read John's story too.

I find the title to be very intriguing because of how it seems to tell the story of a young boy who can actually see paranormal entities. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

This book sounds like it has given an interesting perspective on paranormal stories. Instead of focusing on the chilling aspects of the supernatural side of things it instead magnifies on the experiences a "haunted" child went through at youth.

This book sounds like a good book. Reading the thoughts of a young boy ain't bad. It gives an adult a perspective into how kid's minds works. After all they are the leaders of tomorrow.
