I predict I will hate the movie. It's nice to read a fairy tale written for adults, but this one, like an archetypical fantasy hung by the fingernails of its premise -- characters were all flat, plot was predictable, and as soon as I turned the last page I forgot why I enjoyed reading it so much....less

Total brain candy -- thus the three stars. A spoiled daughter of divorced parents (think Alicia Silverstone in Clueless) gets sent off to a school for delinquents where all the teachers are actually ghosts of classic authors who committed suicide. One renegade ghost tries to mix fiction with real life at the risk of causing apocalypse, and the protagonist finds she's the only one who can stop it. Totally goofy, but also totally fun and not to be taken seriously at all....less

While not the best Koontz ever, this is also not his worst. Fun, enjoyable, suspense-filled. Golden retrievers take center stage after appearing as secondary characters in many of Koontz's other books. Koontz does what he does best -- mixes mystery of the supernatural kind with human psychology....less

Will be teaching this book this coming semester in my intro to lit section. It's pretty easy to pigeonhole: private Catholic boys' school, one clique more powerful than the other, sadistic school leader, freshman refuses to conform, etc.
As predictable as the book seems, there's still plenty to relate to on a personal level. Solid writing, solid story....less
