Review by: JoseEM on July 07, 2011 :
Very cool ghost story and highly recommended.

As the first reviewer said, I like how matter-of-factly this story is narrated, it's extremely well and naturally delivered. Outstanding writing style, thanks to the author for the read.

I found this to be a really compelling story.
Though the story is in a sense well-known, it still manages to feel fresh, what with the first person narrative and a matter-of-fact quality when describing things that are a bit out of this world, but maybe even too much of this world, too.

I really liked how the "evil" in this story, the ghost, wasn't something atrocious like a monster or a beast that would capture you with fear, but an innocent girl that lured you in with sympathy and sorrow.
Very enjoyable.
