Rating: Summary: 'S okay Review: This book is about a ghost who is trying to find out exactly what has happened to her. In the beginning she has no idea whatsoever except that she is utterly convinced that an accident has happened. Slowly she finds out more about herself and that she is one of four sisters (Charlotte, Selina, Imogen and Fenella). The four sisters 'created' a game called Worshipping Monigan, which, or so they believe, is an old doll. In reality Monigan is much more than that and the ghost, along with some friends and her sisters, must find a way to stop her before someone dies. I do not think that this is the best book Diana Wynne Jones has written. It is somewhat slow and boring. The thing that really caught me was because I wanted to know what had happened, but I wasn't very interested beyond that. It's also a highly confusing book. I think it is okay, but not one of the best.
Rating: Summary: woah! Review: this is a wicked book, but boy, is it confusing! it's a story about a girl who finds herself a ghost, and the only thing she can remember is that "there's been an accident!". she goes to the house of a bunch of sisters, who she knows she is one of. i don't want to spoil it, so i won't tell you too much more, but it involves a strange doll seeking revenge (kind of). the ending has always made me cry, but i love it anyhow. however, it's for older readers (well, over 11) and you'll have to read it a couple of times to understand it (it took me 4 times!). read it!
Rating: Summary: This book creeped the heck outta me Review: This was an awesome book. I would give a synopses or something, but I read it a long time ago and don't remember it that well. But I remember, when reading, it, that it was the mental imagery that really had the biggest effect. The descriptions in this book were exceptional, so as you could imagine so perfectly all the settings, the characters, etc. Not only that, but the plot was incredibly creepy, in a really awesome way. I loved the ending. A lot of books are really good, but are then ruined by a stupid ending. This book was not one of those books.So basically, this was an awesome book. It was creepy. It had a very well-developed plot and characters. It was good entertainment, and is definately worth the time it takes to read it.
Rating: Summary: Girl Looses Memory and Goes Between Time Zones Review: When I was reading this book I found the beginning very dull and I couldnt stand it. I'm not much of a person for details so I got impatient with it. However, once you get further into the book..I became addicted. I read most of the book in one sitting. The main charecter, whos identity is a mystery for a good deal of the book, has been in a terrible accident but doesnt remember what has happened to her. In the book, you have to keep track of different time zones that the girl travels through.
