I wouldn't kick it out of bed. The best part of this book is the final scene, which takes place in the snow and was clearly written by someone who has never experienced actual snow. The author is not aware that snow melts when it lands on a person, leading to a serious scene turning unintentionally hilarious by the shear ridiculousness of the description. This book isn't going to change your perspective on the world or make you a better person, but if you're contemplating a long-haul flight it beats the hell out of picking up a Cosmo.

True to its genre.A real Horror Novel.I did feel terrified while reading at night...It was also informative in a way as I didn't know anything about Gallipoli and Australia's involvement in the Big War.Also,the psychological insight into the soldiers' day to day survival on the battlefield was something worth reading.The Egyptian setting with the pyramids,the Dog Charm,the underworld Setris...very intriguing.

Super enjoyable! I picked this up dirt cheap at a secondhand book store because I thought it sounded like a laugh, but nope; it's a true ghost story and I loved it.

This was a enjoyable ghost story, the author took his time with building up the story and making sure you care about the main characters. The pacing was top notch.
The historical background was pure amazing story telling. He really did his research and included a battle, Galipoli that really got to the heart of the Austrialians. Even today its considered a important part of their history. Quite rightly so as the Great war was where old fashion warfare clashed with modern weapons. The casualty rates has never been surpassed.
The difference between the people at the top and the normal person was perfectly defined by this battle and defined well in this book.
Where the author failed though was he was not very careful in his portrayal of Turkish people. There was certain points he could of tried to show that although they were enemies the Turks were not the invaders, they were defending their homes. As turkish myself I read this book and sympathized with the plight of Anzac troops, he did not try this in a book which was really a ghost story, not a war story. This upset me a bit and was the reason I could not give the book 4 stars.
I would recommend this book though and will read more of his books.

Engaging, entertaining and -- dare I say it -- old school supernatural thrills and chills.
