school shooting in Ya
Honestly if your going to read a YA book involving a school shooting read Hate List by Jennifer Brown.

 I didn't connect with Sam and there was a lot of things both schools did after the event that just wouldn't happen school have certain rules with dealing with event and i just couldn't get into this book. I do applaude anyone who takes on such a difficult subject matter however more people should be willing to try writing about the difficult things in life to help people try to understand.

Extensive cast and amazing world building
This is an amazing book. From the first few pages you are drawn into the town of Castle Rock and greeted like an old friend. The entire style of writing is meant to make the reader feel comfortable while diving deep into the world of the characters and their lives. This is some of King's best work when it comes to character development and world building. Every character has a past to be explored and a personality to be discovered.

Not as good as the book
Ready player one was decent, but the book was so much better. If I keep writing, this will end up as a comparison of what the book was that the movie wasn't. I don't want to do that. It was good and enjoyable but you may feel its somewhat lacking. Possibly due to the epic storyline thats crammed into a 2 hour movie. Still i would recommend you see it. Just read the book after. ?

Captivating
This book is a very easy read, obviously aimed at pre teen and younger. That being said, at the age of 25 I can't even count the amount of times I have reread this, it never gets old. I'm very glad that they kept the film very close to the book and really brang it too life. I love how the book holds a lot more parts that the film missed out aswell, the whole first chapter is almost completely ignored in the film. Makes it more exciting!

It's John green...
Intriguing
Another of John Green, this author is sensational. I've almost read his entire collection, turtles all the way down is next. Back to looking for Alaska, well, this book was very descriptive, it was really easy to follow and all of the characters are very likeable. A great young adult book. The book takes a dramatic twist and gets quite serious and emotional. It was very hard to put this book down! John has a way of writing where it's almost impossible to put his books down.

Disappointing Direction for the Series
The series title, 'The Haunting' led me to believe that the series would be centred on a haunting - or even hauntings (multiple) - but it really isn't.

The writing feels rushed, it's poorly edited with inconsistencies, and seems to 'borrow' a lot from other writers and stories.

I wasn't sure whether to continue with the series, given how disappointed I was with this book, but given that the whole series was included in the Kindle Unlimited subscription, I decided to give the writer the benefit of the doubt.
