Negative Positive
Title: silly and unoriginal
Review: The title says it all. This is another typical ghost story in which a wealthy dead guy gathers together a bunch of strangers to his isolated, creepy old mansion. Ghosts appear, people get picked off, and then the evil ghost is defeated. One of the ghosts has a chopped off hand that crawls around and attacks people ala Thing in the Addams Family. If that were not ridiculous enough, the main ghost inhabits a statue carved out of wood and stumbles around like Frankenstein's monster carrying his head. The final straw is that the good guys are annoying and just not likeable. There is no vivid and mind capturing description of the mansion or its history. There is no sense of mystery or suspense. This book is just bad and I want my money back.
