The concept for this book was intriguing, but the writing was just terrible. The dialogue seems forced, the characters are very one-dimensional, and the decision the characters make to lead to the "plot twists" just make no sense. The author tries to add a lot of random details - including suddenly fanciful character development for someone who is only around for a few pages - that don't actually add depth but just more words. In the middle of it was a glimmer of what the book should have really been about - the relationship between a boy and his mother - but it was lost amid a shticky ghost story.
