A bit of a mixed bag for me. The story had a very strong beginning, full of suspense, terror, and a genuine creep factor, but I think the creepiness was lost on me when the ghost suddenly had a ghost truck for some reason? The ending I think was also decent, but the middle tended to be a slog at times. The book tries to balance horror and drama, but I think the book was simply too long for the two aspects to really even out.
