Hangman's Curse -
Frank Peretti 

Hangman's Curse

Word Publishing - £9.99

So what is it about? Brilliant new page turner from Frank Peretti.  Its "teen fiction" for those into the X Files as a ghost begins putting students into comas in a high school.  So what lies behind these strange events.....?
Who is it for? Aimed at teen with teenage twins as the main characters.  But this is genuinely scary in places!
Does it do what it says on the label? Great thought producing fiction that hits some real issues.  It begins with an American football game but don't be put off.  Once or twice the 'point' we are meant to get is a little over done but still worth reading.
Enjoy or endure? Enjoy! (but keep the lights on bright)  Only one problem, its just a little to well tied up in the end.  To anyone used to post modern ends of the X Files etc it may be a little too neat without any work to do yourself.
Any other comments? Great book, scary book, thinking book and it glows in the dark - so what more can you ask for???
