I'm halfway through Head Full of Ghosts and its getting better and better. I wish I was a faster reader because I'm dying to know how it ends. I'm guessing there will be a twist of some kind but I can't imagine what it might be.
There's no accounting for taste.
:peace:

Wot the bloody L???

So was it Merry all along who was possessed? Is that why it was freezing in the coffee shop during Merry's final interview with Rachel? There were no clues :( I didn't catch any clues anyways. There are supposed to be clues dangit! :(

Who knows what the hell the ending is. I don't even think the author does. It's one of the reasons I dislike this book. It's just a bunch of scenarios the author thought were "scary" and "cool" strung together with no story line. Revisiting this book has made me angry all over again that I wasted time reading it! lol

In all seriousness, I did start out wanting to like the book and I did like a few scenes, but when it was over I realized it just did not pack a wallop and it was a letdown from what it could have become. I went back and forth for the first half of the book liking it/not liking it, but by the second half my dislike of it steadily grew.

yeah, midway through the book, I thought it had an original storyline. Then... It started to remind me too much of those twopid Paranormal Activity movies. Plus the spoiler for The Yellow Wallpaper upset me. I was thinking about reading it :(

I didn't like the book much, either, and I'm so glad to find out I wasn't the only one
left wondering at the supposed "twist" ending. Like, ok, Merry was the one with the ghosts in her head, but the sister was faking it and playing along...??? I didn't really get it, and I didn't find it scary. I hated all the characters, so I wasn't upset in the least when Merry killed them all. The reality show thing wasn't believable to me at all, and got on my nerves. The blog posts were just grating to read. Rabble rabble, rabble; I didn't like it. The ending left me craving spaghetti, though. :umm:

Everything in your spoiler is EXACTLY what I felt!!!
