It's an automatic no for me. I'm too much of a coward when it comes to paranormal encounters.

It seems like a story that can make someone pass. However, I still found it intriguing. John's experiences were soul-touching.

The name alone is captivating. And, I'm glad that the book isn't very scary, so those who are not horror buffs can read John's story too.

The novel sounds interesting as it speaks of John's childhood, and how he lived with ghosts it sounds terrible what he want through, a lovely review thanks for sharing the experience you read in the novel.

I find the title to be very intriguing because of how it seems to tell the story of a young boy who can actually see paranormal entities. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

The way he tells his childhood stories and his scary experiences in life is so hilarious. I'm intrigued about those disturbing issues from young John's perspective. Thanks for the great review!

This book sounds like it has given an interesting perspective on paranormal stories. Instead of focusing on the chilling aspects of the supernatural side of things it instead magnifies on the experiences a "haunted" child went through at youth.

This book sounds like a good book. Reading the thoughts of a young boy ain't bad. It gives an adult a perspective into how kid's minds works. After all they are the leaders of tomorrow.
