Prompt: Do you like what you're reading? Why or why not?

I do like what I am reading because my story is very different. In Deal with a Ghost, there are very vivid details, and the feelings of the characters are described in a way that people can relate to and feel emotions toward them. Also, I really like the book I am reading because it has conflicts that make you want to keep on reading. Deal With A Ghost is by far one of the best books I have read because of all of the detail, and how the author, Marilyn Singer, makes the book so relatable. My book is science fiction, so many of things can't happen, like a ghost coming after you, but adding that, makes the book even more interesting.

"They sat silently for a moment. She wished he would put his arms around her. She wished he would disappear." This part of the story really jumps out at me. Not only does it show how a teenage girl is in an awkward situation with a guy, but her feelings are expressed so vividly in a few words. I think a lot of people, girl or boy, can relate to feeling like Deal. They really love that person, but at the same time, they hate them and wish they weren't in that situation. These few sentences from the book not only show the relation readers can have with the book, but also how the details are very detailed with just a few words.

Deal With a Ghost is also a book that I am enjoying very much because a lot of the chapters leave you with hooks, so if you finish a chapter you want to keep on reading on to see what happens. In the book, a lot of the chapters end with an unfinished conflict. I personally like when a book leaves me hanging because it makes me want to predict what will happen and read on. Now that I have finished my book, I would recommend for everyone to read. It really is a book you won't want to put down.
