Before I write anything, I would like to apologise to the author of this book because this is what I truly feel.
I just finished reading this book entitled "Haunting Stories: 23 True Life Encounters in Singapore and Malaysia" written by Khadijah Moore.
Yep, I'm one of the dumb people who love to read supernatural, ghost and all those wicked books. It's my interest, I just can't help it...^__^
Well, back to the main point. What I'm trying to say is, this book is not interesting at all. From 10 points, I would rate this book at 5 or maybe below. Why? There are many reasons behind it.
First of all, each story is too lengthy although the actual plot is very short. Sometimes, I feel that unnecessary points are also included. Yes, I do appreciate the author's intention to provide knowledge while readers are reading but because of too much information, the excitement has gone completely off.
Moreover, the author is not originally Malay. So, there are several terms and facts, that as far as my knowledge is applicable, they are wrongly written and explained.
Overall, I still think that the stories are priceless. It's just the way of writing that should be....erm...more of a storybook? Well, you complete it yourself.
If you are skeptical about my review here, you can get the book and review it yourself.
I've been reading a lot of ghost and haunting stories. That's why I dare to write this review.
