Rating: Summary: SUSPENCE AND A LOT OF ACTION Review: One of the reasons I bought this book was because of a recommendation from another book review. Another was because of the reviews of the book at Amazon. It seemed that one either loved it or hated it. I wanted to see for myself.I agree with that reader who said that this book is filled with suspence and drama. You may have to read this book several times as there are many twists and turns in the plot. There were too many cuss words for me but all in all its one of the best books I've ever read.I am looking forword to read his next novel. I don't want to spoil this book for you so you should check out other reviews on this book. I recomend that you buy this book and grade it five stars.
Rating: Summary: AWESOME! Review: This book is absoulutly thrilling and chilling. You must read this book! It is a great adaption of the book, and for all you Indians and Hindus out there, it is by Manoj Night Shyamalan, the director and writer of The Sixth Sense!
Rating: Summary: Okay for what it is ... Review: This is a well-written book, but if I had known that it's a novelization "based on the movie", I might not have bbought it. If you enjoy reading novels based on movies, you will probably enjoy this, as it seems to be faithful to the spirit (get it?) of the movie. However, if you prefer more original stories, check out a writer named Richard M. Peck for some really good ghost stories!
Rating: Summary: Very Satisfying Read Review: Unlike most of you that read this book, I never did see the movie, so when I picked this up I knew virtually nothing about the story. Although it does have its suspenseful moments, I would not classify this as a "horror" story. Not a slasher tale, but a VERY emotionally moving tale about the preciousness of life. I found it extremely well written with some rather unexpected plot twists. As you probably already know, the story is of a young boy named Cole, who claims, "I see dead people", and his therapist, Malcom who believes at first that he is only treating an emotionally disturbed young boy. As a side part of the story Malcom has a wife he deeply loves and is trying to rescue their marriage that he feels has grown cold due to the fact that he has been consumed with his work and not been there for his wife as he was in the early part of their marriage. Any more details and I would spoil the book, so enough said. This book was published by Scholastic, which would lead one to believe it is a children's book. I am 40 years old and enjoyed it immensely. It kept me up until 2am to finishing it off and now here I sit with bloodshot tired eyes typing this review the morning after. All ages will enjoy this one. Thanks for reading, TRW
