PERSONAL OPINION

The book is grat but I sometimes found the stories difficult to understand. These stories are a little bit unreal, but the book is called "the ghost stories" so I wasn't expecting any less. It made me think about ghosts, a lot of people believe in ghosts, What about you, do you believe in ghosts?
