Reading a book that involves someone speaking with the deceased reminds me of the movie The Sixth Sense. This book has an interesting story to tell about this girl "finch." She had an interesting past with all of the things that happened to her, being burned, and loosing a lot of people that were part of her life. Although I am not a big reader this book seems pretty interesting. Hopefully it stays interesting enough through out the rest of the book. Some of these situations in the story seem like they can be related to real life situations. So in all I feel that this book will be a pretty good novel to read after all.
