utterly deranged!!!!! there are 14 endings and you truly cannot imagine what goes on in them. i highly recommend listening to the overdue podcast episodes (plural!) exploring only some of the endings.

this ghost train has EVERYTHING. peaches. corporate espionage. murder. indigenous stereotypes. time traveling dog. a trucker strike. torch and pitchfork mob. kidnapping. hidden deposits of gold. real estate shilling. cold storage lockers. amnesia. lake monsters

Louise Munro Foley is a good writer, and that is evident in Ghost Train. Based on old Indian legends surrounding your father's friend's farm in British Columbia, Canada, the story ranges from eerie to wistful. Ghost Train maintains numerous narrative branches of decent length and depth, and is fairly atmospheric.

todavía me faltan un montón de aventuras, pero por lo poco que voy la verdad que estuvo muy bueno. pensé que, como se llama el tren fantasma, iban a haber muchas mas historias relacionadas con el tren en si. como que le dieron mas importancia a la historia de las tribus nativas (cosa que no me molesta, pero entonces le hubieran puesto otro nombre al libro duuh).

also, odio que les digan "indios". pensé que hablaban de gente de la India, no de los pueblos originarios de Canadá

A strong entry in the series. Almost four stars.

The way I went in the story was okay. I guess I was looking for a better outcome but overall it was okay.

Lo amo. Es el típico libro corto que podes leer para salir de un bloqueo lector. Me encanta la historia, de la forma que está relatado, que si elegis una página sigue de una forma y si elegis la otra sigue de otra forma, que tiene como 12 o 13 posibles finales y todo básicamente. Se los requete recomiendo.


La segunda vez que lo leo y literal me lo leí en una hora a la noche. Lo amo

The kids enjoyed the options to choose their own story strands. We re-read the story about 5 times before Mom was done! Of course, it's not the best writing, but it introduced the idea of changing a story and some fun "what-ifs"!

Siempre saque los peores finales y ya no se si porque soy malisima tomando decisiones o porque me gustaba ver sufrir al protagonista de masoca.
