Customer Reviews

This book was mysterious and easy to get lost in.

I loved this book mostly because it was about a subject I find especially interesting. I have a tendency to read fantasy novels, which is why I was drawn to this book. The format is unsusal, consisting of 2 diaries, 1 set of letters, 1 narrative, and 1 college application form. The stories were all connected, usually in a subtle way, like a name would appear in one story and then in the next. Within each story, hints would be dropped about the outcome, but the ending would still be a complete surprise (don't cheat and look ahead!). It made me want to keep reading, which I did (I read it almost all in one sitting). I reccomend this book to everyone that loves the supernatural, and even if you don't, this book just might get you hooked.......
