The Haunting of Charles Dickens Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Not as good as Steinbecks Ghost but an ok read "

" It was an okay read, but I don't know if I would recommend it to my teens. There were bits of supernatural thrown in for no reason. Plus certain plot points just did not make sense. The author tried too hard to match the tone of a Dickens novel. "

" I am unsure of whom this would be written for - I think that the Dickensian language and situations would be lost on young readers. "

" The premise was interesting, but I found the execution slightly boring at times, and the writing was... different. I can't quite place what he was trying to do... so, not a "bad" book, but by no means was it spectacular. "

" Loved the way that this author infused the book with references to characters or scenes from many of Dicken's novels while telling a tale all it's own. "

" Used book goodness arrived in the mail. Item 1 - "no longer property of the Queens Library" stamped on frontispiece. Item 2 - Nenita's dental appointment card left in book. Did Nenita remember to see Dr. Ben-Levy in Bayside, NY on Sept 20? "

" Although it leaves you hanging there with some details, the book -which gets better as you move along-does a great job pulling you into the City and caring about the main character (girl!) as she searches for her brother. Strong middle school interest if they enjoy historical fiction/mysteries. "

" Fortunate enough to have received an Advance Copy. This is one of those books you'll keep forever. It reads and feels like a great Dickensian tale, complete with perfectly executed illustrations. It's all things Dickens -- characters, wit, and a rousing good mystery. "

" Love the way the author took the stylings of Dickens and wrote the book in that fashion. It wasn't just a novel with Dickens in it... it was very much in his style. Well done! good story. Enjoyable tale. "

" Though I haven't read any YA since I was a YA, this book is just terrific. Told from a young girl's point of view, she joins Mr. Charles Dickens on a hunt for her brother who has been missing for six months. Funny, engaging, and doesn't speak down to its audience! "

" Love the ' Lennon and McCartney Private fire Insurance Company" "

" I liked this book - good mystery - gives you a glimpse of Charles Dickens life "
