Do you like Tim Burton movies? John Hughes? That’s the kind of story this is. It’s cool.

I can see the parallels between Ghostgirl and Tim Burton or John Hughes, but I still don’t think that the book worked as well as the movies by these classic directors do. Like I said, I was more annoyed by the dubious and unexplained intersection between the worlds of the dead and the living. Case in point: why is dead Charlotte still using a computer?

She is using a computer because she can’t let go of the living! did you even read the book? I think you’re too literal to get this book. It’s a great read and I loved the characters and the world.

Maybe I am being too literal here; however, I just can’t wrap my head around ghostly computer use. To me, this blurs the lines of credibility, even for a supernatural story.

I loved this book and I hear the Ghostgirl Homecoming, the next one in the series is even better!

Hi. I got this book at BEA and I LOVE IT! It’s so refreshing and it keeps your attention. It’s not a horror spoof. I think you missed the point of the book. It’s clever. I just saw where Publishers Weekly included it in their summer staff picks and it is the only YA novel on the list. It’s very witty, I agree with them.
