Thia book isn't quite the same idea but it's an extremely good ghost-type story. And Bohjalian touches and explores a little bit on an interesting subject. It's an absorbing book and a page-turner!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-72483722238217203172011-11-01T15:58:45.670-04:002011-11-01T15:58:45.670-04:00Zibilee; I'm thrilled you're going to rea...Zibilee; I'm thrilled you're going to read this book soon!

I think you're right that Bohjalian is very talented. He likes to construct stories around social issues or circumstances, events. I always feel like in addition to enjoying a great story, I learn about something I knew little about before his book. The Night Strangers does follow this usal 'format' to the extent of some of his other books but there's still some interesting things going on in this book!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-41325919175524870632011-11-01T15:42:55.797-04:002011-11-01T15:42:55.797-04:00Sweet Virginia Breeze: It sure is!

And the ending disappointed me and surprised me but I'm also think it's pretty interesting that Bohjalian ended the book the way he did.

It is really different than anything else he has done, but I have heard it's deliciously creepy and wonderful and that it keeps you guessing. I am glad to hear that this was mostly a great read for you. I will have to remember your issues with it when I do get to it, and get back to you with my thoughts.
