Bought this b/c the movie I've Been Waiting For You was based on this book, and I must say that I like the movie better. It's enough to keep you going. Like it's enough to keep me reading to the very end. But some parts were tacky. Like Eric is completely gold. Gold skin. Gold eyes completely gold. That just seems tacky to me. Or the kids don't sound like kids. The kids talk differently than I would expect kids to talk like. Or Lois Duncan doesn't seem to understand karma. She understands some New Age Wiccan karma. But karma in Buddhism is just cause and effect. Or how being drunk is enough to remember ones past life. Wouldn't every single drunkard remember his/her past life if that were the case? Or Sarah in THIS lifetime seems to be a lot to blame for Sarah's own misery. Like Ted Thompson brought up some good points. She kept whining about wanting to go back to Ventura insistently. She never gave Kyra a chance. She hated her and never made a real effort to get along with her. She didn't care about her mother's happiness, even though it was her senior year and she could just move out. Realistically, people change, you are an adult or close enough and don't like how your mother changed, move out. She would have only had to deal with her mother's new behavior for a year. People changing is a reality of life and they don't always change back. Usually when people change, it's permanent. (Except for drugs and other addictions.)It would be much easier to empathize with Sarah if she made a stronger effort to get along with the people in the town. Country music isn't as bad as she makes it out to be. I have to agree with Ted, she does act stuck up and snooty and just views everybody as backwards. The book has its highlights, though. Just not enough for me to bump it up to 4 stars. The highlights would be Charlie. His lines always made me laugh. And who doesn't know an Eric Garrett? There were a few "Eric Garretts" in my old school. We all know a guy who uses your friendship with him to play you as a fool.I'll probably make a youtube video on this later.
"Gallows Hill" is a very well crafted suspense/supernatural thriller. Although I don't usually go for the paranormal books, this one was presented in a way that was, for the most part, believable. It is also supposed to be a young adult book, but I found it entertaining for the not-so-young adults as well.The book starts with Sarah Zoltanne being forced to relocate from Ventura, California, to tiny Pine Crest, Missouri, for her final year of high school. She was forced to follow when her mother Rosemary, widowed for several years, met Ted Thompson at a teacher conference and fell irresistibly in love. Ted was still married, although separated, and had a teenage daughter, Kyra, who was only one year younger than Sarah. The move was particularly rough for Sarah as no child wants to move away from their friends for their last year of high school. Add to that the fact that Pine Crest was a small community where the children had known each other almost from birth, and Sarah and Kyra couldn't stand each other, and you get what was the makings of a pretty miserable senior year for Sarah. The class president, and anointed golden boy of Pine Crest, Eric Garrett, asks Sarah to help with the senior class fundraiser. They were holding a carnival in the gymnasium and Eric wanted her to be 'Madame Zoltanne,' fortune teller extraordinaire. Sarah tried every excuse she could think of to get out of it especially the fact that she didn't know the first thing about telling fortunes. Eric had a plan though. Kyra had a wireless radio and would feed info on all the people walking in Sarah's tent. Sarah would then put everything together and come up with a fortune. Her mother even had a crystal paperweight (which had a life of its own) that Sarah could use as a crystal ball.Pressured to try and 'fit in' by Ted and Rosemary, Sarah agrees. The night turned out to be a major success. People were astonished that a stranger knew so many details about them, many she had never even spoken with before. All was going very well until Charlie Gorman walked in. Overweight and uncoordinated, Charlie was the class whipping board and was constantly being teased. When Sarah looked in the crystal ball for Charlie, she saw him being pushed down a flight of stairs. She was so taken aback by this that she feigned a headache and, since the carnival was almost over, decided to call it a night. When Charlie showed up at school the next day with a cast on his arm, things started getting sticky for Sarah.Eric, having a hidden agenda of his own, pressures Sarah into holding private readings for cash. Kyra has a major crush on Eric and agrees to help. As she holds more fortune readings, Sarah sees things in the crystal ball which ultimately come to fruition. Add to this her nightmares about the Salem Witch trials and her growing friendship with Charlie, who is a proponent of reincarnation, and things start to spiral out of control for Sarah.I very much enjoyed reading this book and while the plot was not really surprising, it kept the pages turning. None of us know what's on the other side of the grave, so who can say what happens.
This book really touches the heart as it tingles the spine. I felt for heroine Sarah as she is haunted by the memories of young Betty Parris, who triggered the Salem Witch Hunt, and persecuted by her classmates. I almost cried when no one believed what she said about the drawing of the noose and about the dead crow. Another thing I loved was her relationship with the large-bodied-but-kindhearted-and-cute Charlie. That really touched my heart because I too was in love with a generously-sized gentleman. This book is well-crafted and entertaining and just plain excellent. Buy two copies. You'll wear out the first from reading it so much. Lois D. does it again. I think all her "teen-suspense" books are great, even though I said goodbye to my teenhood some years ago.
This was a good easy book I enjoyed reading it....I did find it a little slow moving but all in all I would recommend.
Exactly was I was looking for
Loved this book when I was younger and it only gets better with age.
Glad our girl escaped the Ozarks. Who wouldn't prefer to live in Ventura California. Or anywhere in California. Small towns can be deadly.
It was a somewhat interesting read. It seems to be geared towards younger children. Too many occult symbols in it for me though.
