i liked the cover a lot, it was cool. but hey! i'm not an idiot that i would buy a book just because it had a cool cover page(duh-uh!) i liked the read the summary at the back and decided to buy it, it was a tough choice though coz' there were a lot of other great books from the poison apple range.
the starting- ordinary, but the u can never expect the book to be great in the first few pages. a girl studying in the seventh grade-really sad about moving into a new house with her dad and her stepmother- she's got a really mean sister n blah-de-blah-de-blah!
when the real story got started- it actually got really good. i was loving it. i should tell that the story of the ghost cat was scary. i was really happy that i bought this book.i liked chapter 10 coz' it was then when hannah actually started to say something against her mean step sis Madison Van Meter.(found the name quiet weird) i especially enjoyed this bit-
"Well, you can believe whatever you want, but I like the cemetery," Hannah challenged. Her words were punctuated by a burst of drilling noises from the house, indicating that the contractors had started their work for the day. "It's peaceful, quiet, and relaxing there. Now, if you'll excuse me, I HAVE A DATE WITH A GHOST."
HA! she really did hit it on poor Madison's face.(how does that feel pretty face!)
ok, i did not think that this book was gonna be scary or anything, but i wanted something spooky or bad to happen when hannah was lost in the woods. instead she just ended up in her latest crush's house. okay that was sweet but really i expected something else, something "DARK"
the ending- not so exciting. i had better expectationS. cuz in the end it was just a dead cat trying to get back to its dead owner. now there's nothing exciting about that, is it? especially coz' the legend told something ELSE-
the people believed that the cat lured molly to death.
see! so the ending should have been something more other than-
'hannah believed it was gonna be a great year.'
ok fine, u wanted to give the book a nice ending. but atleast.. it was clearly a story about a black cat who haunted the sleepy hollow cemetery. i expected something else. atleast hannah should've got hurt or something! (and i am totally not a freak who wants every single person to get hurt or die in the end)
but other then that, it was a good book.
7 out of 10.
P.S. it was really annoying the way she shouted "icky!" when she saw the cat just because he too like icky had a splash of white on his tail. ...more
