5.0 out of 5 stars A good read scary month of October, 28 Oct 2006
By Mark Neville "anna age 9" (Strasbourg France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Haunting (Hardcover)
Barney a nine year old boy is being haunted. He thinks it is Cole, his dead Greatuncle. He finds out that Cole was a " magician" and is not in fact dead. If you want to find out what happens next get the book!

I liked this because it was gripping, lots of detail and mystery. I recommend the book be read in the scary month of October.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling and elegant, 25 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Haunting (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
Like all Mahy's fantasies, this is both a thrilling supernatural ride and a sympathetic, thoughtful portrayal of family life. Adults, as always, are neither gods nor monsters (though at first it seems otherwise to Barney, the child at the centre of the story).

The book is about learning the limits of adult power and the extent of children's power. It knows magic is hard and scary. If you find Harry Potter a bit banal, try this; it's far, far cooler.

4.0 out of 5 stars Year 9 class review, 30 Nov 2009
By L. Gilbert (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Haunting (Puffin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
We read this book as a class novel. Overall we enjoyed it. There were some great moments of excitement, suspense and mystery.

At times howeevr, we found it a little bit plain, some parts slowed right down and seemed to go on for a long time.

We would recommend that you read this, as the exciting parts are well worth reading through to get to.

1.0 out of 5 stars boring
this book is not even about a ghost or anything scary it is about a living man and is dull the people have silly names and act like 2 years old!

3.0 out of 5 stars ok
In places tis book was fantastic, capturing suspense and danger brilliantly but at odd times it became rather tedious, still, worth a look.
