it was ok
bookshelves: abandoned

I tried to finish it. I really did. But it was just so...boring. Really really boring. And the author went for a “I am completely objective and thus not inserting myself into this story� motif, which just leads to huge eye rolling when there are no comments on what is obvious bunk. I know they couldn’t explain how the “medium� had all that info. But there is zero mention of cold reading techniques, or even that the medium, given long days between readings, could have written letters to others who could do research on her behalf. It was all just so annoying. If you want a good book about ghost hunting and death, read “Spook� by Mary Roach.
