Reviews

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

For the amount of detail through the book, I found the ending rather abrupt. Nice, easy to read, murder mystery for kids.

The book "Dead Harry" written by Ken Catran was easily one of my favorite books.I decided to read this book because the blurb at the back of the book got my attention, this book i great because of the characters.I found a Harry interesting because hes a ghost but he sees others too.I would describe Harry as a chill back kind of person who makes people laugh at the right time.Sam doesn't concentrate in class we know this because Ms Anson asked Sam "Are you with us Sam" and latter on Ms Anson said "I know you have issues Sam but can you focus right now".At the end Harry said "see you around" and that made me think that can Harry come back.Also Sam said "Is there a way for him to come back" and that made me remember this book because i used to go back and see any were it said that ghost can come back.I would ask the author is he going to continue the sires.If i could change anything i would change the ends of most of the chapters because they all end , make me filled with suspension.This book is great and I hope there will be more in the future.
