Ghostwriter is a story about Sara, an unemployed journalist,
who finds her way to an isolated island home. While living in this house, she
finds out that her idol author used to live there. Through a series of events,
she is able to interact with the ghost of her idol author. Sara moved to the
island to start over after breaking up with her boyfriend and to escape the
modern technology of cell phones and internet, thereby cutting off her
emotionally abusive mother.
I found the first half of the book to be rather slow. I kept
waiting to meet the ghost, but it seemed to take forever to happen. I found the
several letters that were typed in the book to be tedious and I kept thinking
that I was going to meet Seth soon. This felt like somewhat like a historical romance,
but only part of the book. There are a lot of details setting up the story, but
it seemed tedious.
The second half of the book was what I was waiting for. The
connection between Seth and Sara was magical. I was captivated by their
relationship and how it developed. It was heartening to see at the end that she
was the one who saved him.
Overall, this is a good book. I just wish we could have met
Seth earlier in the story. 3.5 out of 5.
