review 1: This book unnerved me, and not in the way I expected it to. Honestly, though I love the author, I didn't enjoy it. It's a creepy story that sort of gets under your skin, and it rubbed me the wrong way somewhat. The strange thing is that I have a feeling that that is what Sedgwick meant to do when writing it: to make the reader genuinely uncomfortable. The story is still interesting and compelling; normally if I am not enjoying a book, I put it down, but I read this till the end. It is well-written; I think that it is quite a subjective book that some might find appealing in its mystery and twists and turns, and that others (like me) will just say is downright bizarre. If you're a fan of Marcus Sedgwick and haven't read it, I suggest that you do, I think your experience of ... moreit will probably turn out to be completely different from mine.
review 2: I thought this book was okay it didn't really catch my attention that much. The authors purpose was to give someone an idea of what he thinks happens after death. The story is basically about a thriller about what awaits us after the death – angels or devils – It's summer. Rebecca is an unwilling visitor to Winterfold - taken from the buzz of London and her friends and what she thinks is the start of a promising romance. Ferelith already lives in Winterfold - it's a place that doesn't like to let you go, and she knows it inside out - the beach, the crumbling cliff paths, the village streets, the woods, the deserted churches and ruined graveyards, year by year being swallowed by the sea. Against her better judgement, Rebecca and Ferelith become friends, and during that long, hot summer they discover more about each other and about Winterfold than either of them really want to, uncovering frightening secrets that would be best left long forgotten. What Rebecca and Ferelith's find is that of the seventeenth century Rector and Dr Barrieux, master of Winterfold Hall, whose bizarre and bloody experiments into the after-life might make angels weep, and the devil crow. less
