isn't as creepy as it looks, It is really really good, i love it and it end happyly i would tell other about it who are looking for a good diff ghost story, I gave this bookpages and it just couldn't suck me in, I didn't care about the characters, The story is too vague and jumps around so much that it is confusing, There are too many good books to read to waste time finishing one like this, This was a pure Anglophile indulgence and I loved it, I seriously want to find the house described in this book in Scotland and snap it up and live out my days there, This is a quick read and a very sweet story as well as being all about Scotland and ghosts, Quite compelling kept me up too late till I finished it, Children's book but really pretty scarey, Satisfying ending. This book had an interesting concept, and an entertaining cast, but to be honest, I really read it for the house, That factor alone detracted from a high rating, since as I found out the more I read further that really, the house turned out to be a gimmickwhich, obviously, is really disappointing.
It never had much effect on the story besides connecting Elspeth with the main character, It seemed like a setting that never got explored, It just sat there, adding flavor to the story here and there, Probably the book could have saved the reader from too much disappointment created from the house letdown if it had added something else to the plot, As it stands, the book is more of a relaxing read which actually makes the house's flaw more noticeablebasically, no help from there, Still, I like relaxing reads, so it did help itself in a different area,
What really makes or brakes a book most of the time is the ending, Endings can save most anything, so I was hoping it could compensate, This one did not.
Just.
At all.
I could put up with the house, or whatever else, but the ending was not good in the slightest, To save time, I'll just sum it up by calling it quite absurd, I do not want to go into it,
Anyway, as said before, it was an interesting concept, so I'll go ahead and give it a rating of,rounding it to. But I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, When Ewan Dart moves to
Scotland, he discovers that his new house has a freaky habit of flickering in and out of different centuries, Then he encounters the ghost of Elspeth, a girl who died injust as the house shifted in time, Brilliant concept of a time shifting house, If anything the book was too short, there was so many ideas that could of been taken further, Wonderful cast of characters, Also writes as: sitelink M, I.
