    <body><![CDATA[I read this out of nostalgia. <br/><br/>It's actually a good story... despite it being written for teens. It sort of reminds me of a Japanese horror movie like the Ring or the Grudge, etc. <br/><br/>It's worth a few hours of your time if you want to relive your youth.<br/><br/><br/>]]></body>
