This book was all the rage here on PBS for some time. I put off reading this book because of the negative reviews on PBS. I really enjoyed this book. I prefer ghost stories over vampires or other paranormal themes. I thought this was a good solid book. Someone wrote in a review that the Martin Character was unnecesary and just a way for the author to write about OCD. I dont agree, I believe this book had layers of the same theme. Being trapped, being boxed in, sometimes by others and sometimes by your own choices. All the characters were building strength to do things they couldnt do before. Because of the reviews I waited for the terrible ending, or the terrible last 100 pages, but really I enjoyed it. It is a ghost story, it isnt real, so I didnt expect a book based in reality so I wasnt disappointed, anything could happen when you make stuff up. The author did a great job of making stuff up. Her explanation is just as plausible and anyone else's, cause we dont have enough prove to say otherwise.
