Marvin Curse edition by Debra J Edwards Children eBooks Reviews
This is a story about Marvin, a young man who can see ghosts, and is quite troubled in life. This isn't your classic ghost story, this is a story about finding redemption and closing open chapters of your life. I found the story line quite unique and interesting and absolutely loved Marvin. Hopefully there is going to be a second book where we find out if Marvin can repair his home life and what happens with Stella aka Rose. If you believe in ghosts or love a happy ending after a heck of a journey than give this book a read. I was provided a copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review.
So when I saw this book II was a bit hesitant because the book while its paranormal sounded like it was something that a young child would enjoy which typically isn't my cup of tea. However, after reading Marvins Curse I actually really liked it. The book puts a new spin on teenage angst and can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The book follows this young boy who is cursed with the ability to see the dead which allows him to see his dad after he dies but its not a "gift" that Marvin wants. In addition to losing his dad he is forced to move to an old house that sits near a graveyard all thanks to his new stepdad. In addition to being pestered by his dead dad he does come in contact with a girl who will forever change the way he sees his "Curse". That is all the informaton that you are getting out of me so if you want to know more you must read this amazing book! If you have yet to get your copy of Marvins Curse you should definitely do so now!!!
The story's about a teenage boy named Marvin who inherited a power when his father died he can see ghosts. Up until he was able to see them himself, he didn't give it a second thought, nor did he truly believe what his father was telling him all the years before. Now his mother's remarried and they have moved to a house near a graveyard, unfortunately for him. But, luckily, his father is still lingering around as a ghost to help him.
Marvin immediately meets a girl in the graveyard... who happens to be a ghost, but she doesn't know it as she doesn't remember who she is and Marvin doesn't have the heart to break her the news. Instead he decides to do what his father would do in the same circumstance, to help the ghost find her way.
I'll not go any further to ruin anything.
I really liked this story. The characters are complex and the story is well written. My only criticism would be the cover of the book. It doesn't do the story justice.
In general I do not read YA books, but I did read Marvin's Curse as I am a ghost junkie and well, I like the author. This book is geared as a Young Adult book and it's written very well. The storyline is awesome and although I had some problems (mostly little things like why she couldn't remember her name but could remember the name of the Ivy on the headstone, and the fact it was written with English (European) colloquialisms and being American I had to look words up - ha.) I have to say this author has a wonderful way of writing and I'd recommend this book, to both YA and adults (even if I found some fault of my own). I think all in all I'd love to see this character evolve, grow up, not have so much anger and perhaps come into his own as a spirit medium. This book certainly has the potential for the character to do so. I would like to see the idea behind the city in the book explored more, why, where, who, how, etc. The character I didn't care for though was Stella, I just simply didn't like her. But then as I stated I'm not a young adult, so perhaps that's why. Marvin sort of grated a bit as well in the beginning but was much better toward the end. I'd highly recommend this read to any YA, and to those of us who are older and into the ghost genre, but I caution here, this is written for young adults, remember that.
