I think that this book is very interesting because it sounds like there are a lot of mysteries in this book, and I like reading mystery books. I think that this book review is also well written. The person who wrote this ended the summary of the book with a question, which I think persuades a lot of people to read the book.

Sounds interesting! I haven't read much of mystery book or lot enough English books I should say.. From the review, I think I'm already "mysteriously" attracted to this book. Thank you for a good book review. ^_^

I love Lois Duncan books!! He has this great way of describing mysterious situations, in a way that makes your imagination run. It keeps you guessing what is going on.. but isn't revealed until the end. I haven't read this book yet though, but I will.
I like your ending, even if it's kind of creepy.

After reading your review, I think this book is fun. I like to read mystery books. It makes me think about the main character, will she be able to save her life? I would sometimes try this book.

I liked the way you said the book report it was short and simple and a good way to hook you because you didn't give great detail. It was like "If you want to know what happens in the book you're going to have to read it yourself" By reading your report it also sounds like a mystery, suspense type of book. This book sounds really interesting and i would like to read it sometime.

I have never read this book but by the way other people commented on this book about the way the author writes it and makes the readers feel like it can really happen. That makes me want to read it. I think it would be a very mysterious book because there must be secrets about the main character’s step mother and how her house seems to be trap in time! I wonder what dangers will be awaiting for the main character.
