6. What do you particularly like and dislike in this book? (At least 25 words)
(Wat vind je vooral leuk en juist niet leuk in dit boek?) (Dus NIET makkelijke/moeilijke woorden!)
I very liked the book because it was a horror novel which I find the most pleasant genre to read. It
has a very unpredictable ‘plot’ and unusual story line as other horror novels I read. In this book the
girl, Mandy, is the ‘horror’ and not a ghost or a monster which was very surprising. It was creepy in
a different kind of way. The book kept me guessing which I very liked.
What I disliked in this book is that writer very detailed over the family life of Kerry. For the story it
is ofcourse important (especially the brother, Donald) but it didn’t had to been this so much
detailed.
