review 1: Utterly overrated trivia, although slightly better written than most fodder. It might even have got 3 stars from me for the quality of the writing if it wasn't for the forced, overinflated plot. As a connoisseur of pony books and sci-fi with a dark past in horror and ghost stories, I am fully used to and normally quite forgiving of totally convoluted plot turns, but this is one that takes a whole packet of hobnobs (particularly fattening biscuits for those of you who live in non-Hobnob countries). There are a million better crafted stories out there along the same themes (seeing dead people, solving a murder and laying ghosts to rest) - find those and let this one rest.
review 2: One word: disappointing. From the blurb I expected it to be really thrilling but a... morell I felt was 'eh'. And to add insult to injury, it would have been a really good book if it was written properly. The big surprise and twist at the end wasn't even that much of a surprise because the author wrote it in such a way that you saw it a mile coming. Plus the ending just felt too botchy, like she was just adding all the answers to the questions at the end just for the sake of closing the book. It didn't flow together and wasn't structured at all. Would have loved to give it more coz the idea was really good but unfortunately this was another example of authors who have great ideas but just can't put them down well on paper. Too bad. less
