This book contains two ghost stories - not the gory "in-your-face" slasher stories that abound today - but rather moody, eloquent 19th century spoooooooky tales. Each story will take about 30 minutes to read, but will leave you with goose bumps much longer. The second tale, in particular, left me feeling the need to have a nightlight in my room that night!
A weirdly engaging fantasy tale about life in the future, where Disney World is a way of life, people can order new bodies or even turn themselves off for eons, and your brain is hard-wired into some sort of global internet. Also, it's a love story....
I've enjoyed all of C. Doctorow's other ebooks, but I just couldn't get into this one. For one thing, the language was just so vile, I was scared that one of my kids would see it (and I'm no prude - I had no qualms with his other books). Read ANY of his other books rather than this one.
