I've been waiting for someone to revie...OH YAY! I've been waiting for someone to review this and tear it into little pieces ever since I saw that cover which makes me want to hurl all over the nearest church, which, admittedly, is not the church's fault. This is simply how I feel.<br /><br />The Protagonists: Oh man, all of them ALMOST died, which means you were nearly spared this torturous read. Does this fall under the heading "proof there is no god"?<br /><br />Oh good. There's only one hot male. They'll need to split him three ways. Like a banana. What an odd metaphor to make in this instance.<br /><br />"However, that would require writing and developing a female character deeper than the layer of dust this book will soon acquire at the Used Book Store." Oooh, BURN.<br /><br />I would never have touched this book with a pole, but you are a martyr in the way you spare others. I have officially learned more about Christianity from your review than can apparently gleaned from the too-many-pages of this shitstorm.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-56665014210565834482012-11-15T19:45:17.711-07:002012-11-15T19:45:17.711-07:00Oh, this sounds awful.

AN ANGEL! <br /><br />Yeah. I just can't. And it's a shame, because I think Catholicism could render some very interesting YA stories - particularly about the Saints. You just kinda hope that those stories are left in better hands...

The psychiatrist was depicted as a charlatan - because he apparently treated people with "soulless" medicine instead of caring about their "feelings" and believing in Jesus. And he definitely was a bad guy - but they should have made it clearer that he was a bad guy because he used mentally ill people and drug addicts as his pets/minions, not because his brain was too scientific to accept Christ.

I took a few medieval history courses in college and whenever we covered the saints, I would sit up and pay attention. So, it's kind of a disappointment to hear this is bad. Plus, I really dislike reading books that are incredibly anti-science and anti-logic, to the point where it is obvious (much of the time I can be oblivious to those things). What a waste of a great concept.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-15658303628656488122012-11-15T07:49:44.916-07:002012-11-15T07:49:44.916-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348815.post-37060206451404588832012-11-15T07:34:21.509-07:002012-11-15T07:34:21.509-07:00I love this review.

I want to attack it with a hi-liter and quote things like "If logic is an enemy to your story, you need to look at your book, and look at your writing choices" and "Catfight Lightning Rod" in everyday conversation. There's so much awesome here that I shed a tiny tear in appreciation. I won't read this book, because you asked and because I'm pretty sure that it would kill my soul. <br /><br />Shame really, I liked Ghostgirl.
