I really
enjoyed the characters and action in this book. It draws the reader right into
the turmoil that they go through, and you wind up sympathizing with the family
as they come to grip with what is happening. The only fault I have with the
story is that sometimes I found it hard to figure out who was talking and whose
mind was replaying an earlier scene.
I also really enjoyed the
characters in this book. They seemed realistic to me as if they could be my own
neighbors or even family. Marimar even reminded me of my niece. I really
enjoyed the action as well. It draws the reader right into the turmoil that
they go through, and you wind up sympathizing with the family as they come to
grip with what is happening.
This was
a fast-paced paranormal thriller that I found myself quickly lost in. I
couldn't seem to read it fast enough.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
