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.
