review 1: Not sure why this was in my Library's Hallowe'en display, Ghost = yes, Spooky = no; however, I really quite liked it. A compelling (but not overly emotional) drama about a woman trying to find her self by leaving her old seemingly meaningless life in an attempt to make it in New York City, aided and hindered by the Ghost of an unsuccessful writer inhabiting her apartment dictating to her the impressionist stories he was never able to write.
review 2: This book was recommended for me and I selected it as a potential book club read. Thank goodness I chose to read this book before it got to my book club, what a huge disappointment! This book was written for the fiction writers of New York, and perhaps New Yorkers. I loved the title of the book more than the book i
... moretself, that about sums it up.I thought that Eve was vague and unlikable. Poor Eve she cannot get a job in New York despite the fact that she has been a paralegal for twelve years--oh wait she isn't applying for paralegal positions! Wait what? And, when she finally lands a job, a dream job for many, she ruins it--but she remains confident as she knows she is a great writer. Ummm ok.Eve has no social life, and spends all her alone time talking to the ghost in her apartment. If only the ghost were interesting. Donald was a poet in the 60s and hates that he died before his great novel was published. And he talks really oddly and dictates odd stories to Eve. I didn't like Donald, I think I was meant to somehow...Dull dull dull. Not the book for me or my book club. less
