I think the screaming staircase is a good book because it is all about ghost hunting and trying to catch the source of a ghost. It is a good book if you like scary stories. I would give it a 9/10

Thanks Isobel. Hope it wasn't too scary for you? I know some pupils thought the book trailer was really frightening but that perhaps the book did not quite live up to the impression given. I hear there is a film due out soon of the book. Do you think you will go to see it? Do you think you might want to read the next book in the series? One pupil has already bought it as she enjoyed the book so much.

Some parts were pretty scary, although on the whole I could sit through it. I liked it because it was horrific and very detailed, which pushed the story somewhat. My favourite character is George because he's usually got the most sense out of the bunch. It's so detailed in the "hauntings" that it's almost believable, apart from the fact that it's about ghosts.

Thanks for your review James and glad you enjoyed the book. I gather there is a film being made of the book. Any ideas who might be cast as the main characters? Perhaps you might like to read some other of Jonathan Stroud's books?

I really enjoyed this. I thought the idea was clever and I liked the combination of the three characters. They are all different and interesting in their own way. It's a little scary, so I wouldn't recommend reading it before bed. The writing is very good. The author uses excellent descriptive language. I definitely encourage you to read this. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

The screaming staircase is an amazing book. It can be really scary at times because it gets really detailed. It also switched to the past, which is a really good added feature. My favourite character is Lucy because she speaks a lot of sense and even if she had bad experiences in the past she kept on going. I am really looking forward on the next book!!! I give it a 10/10!

I really enjoyed this book. It was not very scary, but it had elements of horror, particularly at the end, and the whole book had tension. I was quite surprised by how the book was laid out, because it wasn't just one case, they were two cases, and it also had extra story between that as well. The book also had some humour in the middle. This book was absolutely thrilling, and I will give this book a 10/10.

I didn't really enjoy this book. Mainly because it was based on ghosts.

I love the screaming staircase because it keeps going and never stops. I would highly recommend reading the book but it is a bit long. Leave a Reply. |
