3.0

I dont understand why authors write 600 page books when it could've been 300.  I wanted to DNF it but suffered to continue.

  A sad book about a young boy "imprisoment" at a boys school where there's ghost and many forms of child abuse. His sister comes up with a plan to get him out.

I wouldnt call this a horror novel. The ghost were a second thought and at times as scary as Casper. 


You don't have to read this novel.
