review 1: I don't really want to write too much about Five Parts Dead, since it was a book I read for school and I'm about to spend an entire term studying it. What I will say is that it was much better than everyone made it out to be. I actually enjoyed this book. There were brief glimpses of an incredible book, and they were what kept me reading for long periods of time, rather than the chapter-a-day scheme I had in mind (or the Don't-Read-It-At-All scheme I had originally planned). The subject of death particularly interested me, and I felt that serious issues were tackled very professionally in this book. Tim Pegler quite clearly has a way with words. I felt he was a very good writer and did a fantastic job of capturing one of the most common human emotions; confusion. As long a... mores you can suspend disbelief, the main plotline is perfectly fine. However, if you're very picky on things being realistic and earthly, I wouldn't suggest this book. It goess deep into spirits and psychic ability and ghosts, which I found very interesting and enjoyable. Five Parts Dead is not a book I would have ever ended up reading in my spare time, so I guess I'm glad that school plopped it in my lap. Overall, I quite enjoyed Five Parts Dead and I hope for big things in future for Tim Pegler
review 2: This book should've been good. But it was unfortunately very dull, at least in my opinion. The novel is supposed to be about how a boy who has come very close to death a few times, connects with the spirit world, particularly a girl featured in a lighthouse log book from a long time ago. But the spirit world isn't often seen. It's mostly just the main character reading the log book (the content of which is actually interesting, but was largely inspired from an existing log book. the most interesting part was not even the authors own work). Other than the log book, the main character also had an awkward teen romance with his twin sister's best friend; which was at least somewhat relatable to the target audience. All in all, the story had great potential, but unfortunately disappointed. less
