Barry's Book Reviews: "Thomas, The Friendly Ghost by Jeannie Walker
FOUR STARS: “Thomas, The
Friendly Ghost” by Jeannie Walker was as strangely easy to read as the strange
events in the storyline. This is a lighthearted
book for those that like a not so terrifying ghost story. An added benefit is that it can be read in
one sitting. The book included whimsical
photos and artwork that are the “evidence” of beings from a supernatural world. If you would like a simply written “true
story” that traces the events in the author’s life then this book is for
you. The writing style did not conjure
up the ghosts of Beatrix Potter or Ernest Hemingway but it will please those
that want a simple read. If you believe in
spirits then you will believe the stories; if not you will not be converted.
However, despite the fact that I had rated the book Three Stars, no matter how
much I try, my keyboard keeps on typing Four Stars. Thomas, are you there?
