I found this book to be pretty disappointing
The first few pages held such promise, but it got so boring
Maybe that was the problem, as I was reading it at work and was getting inturrupted quite a bit
I really love books that I can't put down, but this book was certainly something that I could put down

  I found this book to be pretty disappointing.
  
  The basic storyline is about a spirit who wants to tell it’s story and all the things it’s been through. The main plot is the spirit avenging the death of a young girl.
  
  The first few pages held such promise, but it got so boring. For a
  huge section of the book I felt like I was being given a history lesson! It was really boring. Things got better towards the end, there was more going on.
  
  The story line seemed to have two different things going on at the same time, and these got mixed up so you weren’t always ...
- entirely sure where you were in the story or who was having what conversation. It was very confusing.
  
  It’s the kind of book you really need the time to get in to. Maybe that was the problem, as I was reading it at work and was getting inturrupted quite a bit. So if you’re
  the sort of person who’s got plenty of time, then this book maybe right up your street.
  
  I really love books that I can’t put down, but this book was certainly something that I could put down…infact I prefered putting it down because it felt more like a chore than a pleasure to read.

Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice book

Servant of the Bones by Anne Rice is yet another masterpiece from an amazing author. Unlike her numerous other bodies of work, this book is not about vampires. But still deals with the supernatural and takes the form of an interview, which fits perfectly with her style. At this ...

The Lovely Bones by Alice Seabold

I was apprehensive about reading Alice Seabold's "The Lovely Bones" mainly because of the subject matter. The books lead character Susie Salmon is a 14 year old schoolgirl who is murdered by her neighbour. I thought it would be a very difficult book to read and only picked it ...

City of Bones by Cassandra

This is one of my favorite books. I'm a big book junkie and i read mostly sci-fi with a hint of romance and this is definitely one of the best ones i've read. It's the first of a trilogy (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass). It ...

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

I must admit that I only read this book because of the movie version that was about to be shown then. I make it a habit to read the book first before watching the movie version. Turned out that my reading experience was so splendid that I regret grabbing ...

A Thousand Bones, by P.J. Parrish

A Thousand Bones is a suspenseful mystery story that keeps you guessing until the end. The book was written by author P.J. Parrish. I personally found the book very eye catching just by the book cover. On the front is a dark blue cover with the shadow of a ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Book

This installment is probably one of my most favorite out of all the Harry Potter books because it has a decent amount of humor, plot and real life problems as well as a good dose of drama and darkness. The book wasn't as thick as the next few so ...
