Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: This was a definite thumbs up! It's about a girl, Molly, who's had a nightmare for as long as she can remember. Ever since she started being forced to take swimming lessons, it's intensified. You see, she has a phobia of water. And it's made worse when Jared tries to drown her at a party. She flees to Hibben, Maine, to escape Jared, and there, in her father's new house with his new wife, Paulette, she notices the house is exactly like the one in her dreams. Paulette suggests that recurring dreams mean something, as does her fear of water. And Molly is thrust eighty years back in time to the life of Clementine, a girl who lived at that house in 1912...This was a very exciting, enthralling book. While hefty at 340 pages, it is fast-paced and it ends quickly and will leave you satisfied. For those looking for a supernatural mystery, definitely think about picking this one up. You won't regret it. Happy reading!
Rating: Summary: A very good book! Review: This was a really good book but I assumed that it would be, after reading Paperquake (one of my top 10 favs.) However, i didn't feel drawn to Clementine during her chapters and the ending was sort of predictable. I think that the best part was when we found out that Clementine left her aunt when she was losing her baby and then happened to Molly's stepmother. A neat idea. Overall, it was a very good read and i would certainly recommend this book, as well as any others by Kathryn Reiss.
Rating: Summary: Nightmares can't turn real - or can they? Review: Nightmares can't turn real - or can they? Teen Molly has always been plagued with nightmares of drowning - to the point that she jeopardizes her high school graduation and perfect academic records by refusing to get into the water. When one of the boys in her dreams turns up in the real world and nearly drowns her, Molly flees to her stepmother and father's new home in Maine - only to find the past follows closely behind. Kathryn Reiss has made a name for herself in previous tales of timeslip and supernatural events and Dreadful Sorry represents another powerful contribution to the genre.
Rating: Summary: Great beginning and ending but not a great middle Review: i'm not sure that words can express what a powerful story this is. i'm 18 years old now, and i first read this book years ago - to this day this remains one of my all-time favourite books. This story is one that will stay with you a long time ('haunt' would be an appropriate pun ;) ). It's very well written, and the Molly/Clementine characters are excellently depicted and drawn out. Read it for yourself, and pass it on to all your friends to read; it's a book that i'm sure everyone would enjoy. about the movie idea, i've thought the same thing, only i'd hope that whoever did it doesn't deviate too much from the actual book; i think it's a great idea. it's a unique story, you don't see many like it especially at the movies. it's a simple ghost story, albeit a VERY good one. if you have any hesitations about reading or giving this book, banish them. RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE! A FANTASTIC BOOK.

Rating: Summary: A slightly huanting book that you will love Review: Although it has been over a year scince i read this book, i still clearly remember how much i loved it. I was drawn to do a search on this title becuase i am looking for the book to give as a birthday gift. My best friend has loved this book for years and she has read it so many times that she has been forced to use both scotch and duct tape to repare the cover of the book. My friend and i are both 16, and although this book is written for 12-13 year olds, i have no shame in telling you that this a tremendous book. The reader will be instintly sucked into the plot and characters and will feel a wide range of emotions. One moment i was full of admiration for Jared and the next i could feel nothing but disgust for Clementine, the past life of Molly. All in all, i would definitly recomend this well written book!
