The writing's solid, the characters interesting and well depicted (though somehow the ones I ended up rooting for most, Martin and Marjike, were the oddest at the outset). Had it simply been an exploration of grief and love and identity, how they shape and twist the lives of the people involved, I would have liked it much more - those parts of the book are truly well done. However, the ghost plot veered into the bizarre about 2/3 through. Then I saw where it was ultimately going, and it simply became disturbing; it reminded me of nothing so much as Stephen King's Pet Sematary. Creepy and just... wrong. Ghosts, evidently, are one species of supernatural I don't care for.
