Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing.
Sigh.... as someone who took a degree in history and lived in Ireland for a time, I was expecting a bit more from this book because of the credentials of the author.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
I loved the story concept, but just felt it was lacking some. Being a short story sometimes the authors feel they need to overlook some details, but this one could use more.

As other reviewers have said it is really a short story and I thought there were too many episodes packed into it. It needs more detail and development to be convincing. It's unevenly paced, as though the author didn't know how to finish it and rushed the ending. The supernatural elements come across as confusing rather than mysterious or spooky.… (más)
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I did enjoy the book for what it was. The book skipped around or jumped ahead a bit that I thought information was left out. I guess I wanted more detail that was not needed for a children's book.
