This book is the first novel by an academic author--and unfortunately, it reads like it. The aspects of the book that were based on the author's actual historical research were the most interesting. The fictional plot wrapped around that information, however, was not as well done. Worth reading if you don't let your expectations get too high.

What can I say about a book I gave up on after struggling through the first fourth of pages. I couldn't´t find anything that kept me reading or interested in any way. I don't really think I made it to the point where the story is supposed to become exciting or in a way "ghostly" or mystery-like.

I figured time is to precious to waste it on a book that doesn't really fulfill my needs when there are so much other books on my shelf that certainly are better.

I could not get into this book.. maybe it just wasn't what I was looking for at the time. I will probably try reading it again at another time.. It just couldn't hold my interest..
