About the author
D. Limond Miller
2 books19 followersI was born in Glasgow, and left school at 16, with one ambition – travel the world. I worked as a delivery boy for an advertising agency, in a psychiatric hospital, and various bars, until I had enough money for a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to have lived and worked in Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, Paris and New York. Not bad going.
Along the way I married a great wife, raised two brilliant daughters, and forged a career in advertising.
The Ghost of Bobby is my first book, born out of tales I’d make up as bedtime stories for my kids. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a four star book for four very good reasons:
1. The cover. It's where every book starts, where your imagination is first captured and this front cover is amazing. It's so dark and twisted matching Skeats character (the antagonist) perfectly. A stunning cover for an enjoyable read.
2. This is a children's book, wrote in language that is suitable for maybe an eleven/twelve year old yet, it holds very adult themes with murder a prominent subject throughout. This ultimately means that any adult choosing this book for their child would also enjoy the story. However, it is also why it holds only four stars not five: it does not have pleasant themes and therefore may be unsuitable for some children. I implore anybody who wishes to read this to their child to first vet the book.
3. Bobby. Bobby is a ghost dog and the protagonist in this story. Albeit not the most lovable dog (he is kind of big and scary) he is mysterious and warm hearted, showing the essence of a dogs protectiveness of their owner. His story is racked with revenge yet is somehow beautiful and he certainly is perfect hero.
4. Skeats. As already mentioned Skeats is the antagonist, and what a powerful antagonist he is. Again a slight problem with the story is that Skeats has six fingers and may result in many children seeing such a deformity as a sign of evil (this is portrayed kind of strongly in the book) which is of course unacceptable. However, besides this, Skeats is the epitome of evil making this book enjoyable. He is cruel, twisted and slightly crazy which would scare any child and if a horror book isn't scary, what's the point?

Children's book, good for the 8 to 12 year old group, nothing really scary in it.
