5.0 out of 5 stars
Extraordinary atmosphere,
By A Customer
This review is from: Whispers in the Graveyard (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
This novel was brilliantly atmospheric and descriptive which really made the reader feel the fear and apprehension that Solomon (the main character) felt. On one level this story can be enjoyed as an eerie tale into which the author integrates authentic Scottish legends and historical fact. It is also, however, the story of a child coming to terms with himself and who he is through his misunderstood learning difficulty, dyslexia, and the discovery of his father's alcoholism. The conclusion of this story also fits in very well with the overall plot . . . but you'll have to read it to find out! A fantastic book which I would recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.

Da review,
By Stephen Fry-Up (Gumdrop House down Lollipop Lane) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers in the Graveyard (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
This book is not a bad read it can be entertaining but can also be confusing.The book centres around the main character Solomon who suffers from dyslexia. It follows the story of him, his alcoholic father and the graveyard where Solomon spends his time. I would say that this is suitable for a reading age of 12-13 and is of the horror genre. I would praise this book on the fact that it is well written. It highlights the life of a troubled character. If anything it is a bit confusing near the end (hence only 3 stars). Overall I would recommend this book and it does warrant reading.

"Happenings In The Graveyard",
This review is from: Whispers in the Graveyard (New Windmills) (Hardcover)
The whispers in the graveyard is a powerful and hard hitting novel. That will take you by surprise.Read about a boy, Sol suffers from dyslexia that is undiagnosed. You read about the high hurdles that Sol will have to jump. His father is a drunk and his mother has left him! The plot unviels many dark secrets that Sol finds out mostly about himself. Many people sacrificed a lot of things for Sol and thereselfs. The Genre is horror suspense. The suspense that was building, was just let out straight at the end, which was a let down. Because it was building up and there was nothing. The reason I give it 4 stars is that it has some hard hitting truths about someone but it kinds or relates to some people. But it has some features that doesn't relate to the real world. The age range would be 14 because it is difficult novel to get into! This unique book is not something that I would read. Therefore I can only say if you enjoy horror/suspense then buy this book. But if you enjoy down to earth books about reality. Don't!!
