But something is determined to keep them apart. Something with the power to conjure of ghosts from David's past and make them real. Something Janine knows from her near-death experience...

This book was awful. This is one of those books that make me say, "if he can get published, I surely should be able to!" The story idea wasn't bad and the style of writing was okay, but the execution was terrible. So many pages devoted to filler!! It's a ghost story/horror novel; do we really need exposition about the various pros and cons of Boston neighborhoods? Do we really need to know what everyone in a scene is wearing, where everyone is eating, and what each is eating and drinking? How does this contribute to the story? Filler, filler, filler. As a rule, I don't skim books, but I did this one to finally get finished with the thing. The only reason I didn't throw it against the wall is that I had a personal vendetta against it and wanted to see it through to the bitter end.
Very good story. I like the story of the Ferryman and the River Styx.
Well, I didnt like it as much as the first book I read by him, but it still was good. Hard to believe in the premise of it, but if you got around that, the story was fine.
I enjoyed this.Interesting characters and really keeps you interested.
Good mythology based story with somewhat crdible characters. The setting was there for more horror but the story took another avenue
A corss between Dean Koontz, and Peter Straub
