Trin's Reviews > The Ghost Notebooks

Dolnick's prose is fantastic -- full of rich simile, descriptive but not show-offy, packed with brilliant observations and clever turns of phrase. I was less enamored with the characters: Hannah, especially, I wish were better developed. But from the moment I started I wanted to keep reading this book, which was, in the end, less a haunted house story and more a surprisingly sensitive portrait of grief.
