Breathe: A Ghost Story 
They can’t breathe, but in Jack’s house they chase, hide, scream.
Only Jack can see them. Only he can hear them. And only he can learn their secrets in time to save himself... and his mother...

I really liked this book surprisingly! I was faced with so many emotions at times. Not your typical "happy ending' and quite a few "pins and needles" moments. I had never heard of this story or the author until 2 of my friends told me how good it was. I am so impressed with this story that I would likely read another of Cliff McNish's novels.Jack and Sarah have moved to an old farmhouse for a new beginning after Jack's father died. Jack has chronic and deadly asthma and must keep in control of
I got so caught up in reading this story that my daughter was an hour late to bedtime last night, I just had to finish it before sleep.Jack is a young teen with asthma who moves into an old English house with his mother after the recent death of his father.

McNish's idea of the after-life is very disturbing.
Original post at One More PageI may be one of the biggest scaredy-cats in the world, or at least, among my group of friends. I know this doesn't make sense when it comes to my love for all things zombie. I like all the shambling, brain-moaning creatures, but when it comes to ghosts and other supernatural stuff? I cower under my covers. When I was a kid I used to like scaring myself silly by watching those Halloween specials that all local TV shows air during those times and no fail, I always end
This was so disturbing! It was well written (if a little on the over dramatic side) and it kept me on the edge of my seat. But the fact that it is a YA book worries me. I would not recommend it to anyone under maybe 15 or 16. There are some really terrifying scenes that, to me, had much deeper underlying currents of disturbia when you really thought about them.Edit: THIS BOOK IS PLAGIARIZED! After reading Neil Gaiman's book Coraline I found the basic premisses the same. An "other" mother,
This book was the best book I've ever read. In fact, it was so good I read it 3 times. It was a thrilling, horrifying, heart racer in which kept me stuck trapped in the book like the ghost children in the house. It was a ride of EVERY EMOTION! I was glad I have read this because at first I thought it would be a dull ,stereotypical ghost book. After I read this book, I HAD TO BUY IT!! Trust me nobody would dislike this.

First of all, i've never read anything like this. Absolutely nothing horror related. So it kind of freaked me out to read it on a page. You know? It's different when you read it, not see it. Parts of the book, let me rephrase that, the whole book is really seductive. I can't really put a pinger on it but when I was reading it all I could think about is that it sounded a lot like Jaycee Dugard. Even though the children in the house weren't tortured in that way it seemed to sort of resemble that.I really liked this book surprisingly! I was faced with so many emotions at times.
