review 1: I really love this author, and this second book in the Lockwood & Co. series is a fun and haunting tale. I enjoy all three of the main characters, the premise is intriguing and their ghost hunts will keep you on the edge of your seat. If your kids liked Goosebump books and are looking for something more advanced and interesting, this is the series for them. It ends with a great cliffhanger that will leave you wishing that the third book was out right now.
review 2: Another solid instalment of Lockwood and Co. Not quite as good as the first one since, even more then the first book, it took its time to get going. Which is a shame since when the story starts to focus on the central theme Stroud's ability to create truly creepy situations, sinister situations and o... moreminous artefacts comes to the fore. He has the capacity to create an aura or menace around his villain's and especially the artefacts that tend to be at the centre of most of his books that is such a pleasure to experience (in a manor of speaking). This one isn't just for lovers of Jonathan Stroud but others need to give it a fair go. I felt the title was a curious choice for the book, since it didn't name the central object of the narrative. less
