Tommy made a drunken mistake he can never take back. He's trying to make amends, but Tommy's no hero; meeting his responsibilities to the living is hard, with the dead it's near impossible.
'Ghost Town' was quite badly written to the extent where sentences with 5 or less words outnumber those with 6 or more. Saying that, I was so very hooked by the end of Crawford's 'Soul Mate' I had to know how the story finished, hence, I bought for £1.49 book two.
I wish I had realised that the third book hasn't been written yet, because by the time it comes out, I may no longer care for the over-simplistic and pathetic nature of the characters in this book.
Also before I forget, this is a world where a boy who sees and gets possessed by ghosts won't go to the police because they will lock him up for being crazy, but WILL work alongside a policeman AND a medium to solve a crime. Very unrealistic.
Overall, not a great book, but if you read the first one for free, you may feel obliged to read the second.
I read this because book one was quite an enjoyable read , and I initially gave this two stars because I found the characters annoying and was frustrated by Tommy's inability or reluctance to explain himself even when his situation was dire. It was quite slow going early on , picking up in the second half and just about kept me interested because I love the premise of the book. Because of this I upgraded to three stars, as I didn't feel the urge to abandon it. To sum up ? ' not bad '
Once again, Richad Crawford's protagonist Tommy Curtis makes your skin crawl and your heart ache all at the same time. His life is ruled by ghosts who don’t ask permission before they take him over. He’s hated, loved and fighting for a chance to live a normal life. Check it out.It's a rather unique story line.
Stumbled upon this browsing through Amazon Kindle. Like others said, slow burner, but slowly sucks you in, and next you know it's 3.30am and you can't put it down. Just the way he get possessed by the ghosts and the little stories that unfold as he carries out their benevolent/malevolent tasks. Fantastic book
