Three out of five
This book was much quicker than I expected. It is definitely fast paced, but I did find my attention wandering at times. James does love his commas and for much of this I had to reread sentences trying to hear the pauses to make sense of it.
The story itself is very good. I was surprised to see so much of other books I've read in it. Either this is a "typical" story, or James has been ripped off repeatedly by modern writers. The premise is of two ghosts haunting children. I can't say too much or I'll ruin the story. The ending is very abrupt and does leave some to the imagination.
All in all, not a knock your socks off read, but something creepy to pass a day or two with.
