I read it back in my teenage years and I read it again right now and there's a reason why it stuck with me all those years. I find the book fantastic with its mystery and horror and comedy beautifully intertwined. What a fantastic read that never fails to pull me from the reading slum. Back in my teenage years it was the only book of the series that I was aware of and now I'm excited to give the rest of the series a go. Enjoy your ghost hunting!
