True stories told March 10, 2008 One thing I look for in a writer, is that when I read their books I like to hear them speak as they are writing, the voice of the character. With When a Ghost screams,Leslie Rule did a fine job of this. As if she was the character in the story. Being that I read the book before turning in , it was mildly suspenseful, although if I wanted a hair raising ghost story this was not it, and I don't feel Leslie was trying to create something spooky.
I would love to see Leslie venture out to some people who have lived in haunted homes, write about the experiences they have had ....... ( I throw a Hint Hint in here ) in hopes she would reconsider one day , writng my story. She is a beautiful writer a talent in her own skin.. young at heart, with age and wisdom so will her books mature into the master pieces she creates. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read your book.

Good book, worth the look February 16, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although I regret that I do not believe in ghosts, the main draw for me were the stories leading up to the hauntings. A good read, though. In fact, some of the stories, one in particular, about a campus hazing, I can't get out of my head. Ann Rule writes the forward.
great book August 14, 2007 loved it , learned some things too . there was some stories in my neck of the woods . i trust her to tell the truth , she reserches her stories !easy to read , could not put it down
Another good book from the Rule family July 30, 2007 I have enjoyed Ann Rule's books for years and added her daughter to my list of "must reads" some time ago. While this book may not be quite as good as her first two, it certainly didn't disappoint me. What I especially like about Leslie's writing is that she, like her mother, actually researches her stories.
no substance, very disappointing, just blah June 18, 2007 23 out of 24 found this review helpful
The title is misleading. I was expecting stories that would frighten me with the truth of real, tragic hauntings. This is a bunch of fluff that is 5th grade reading level. I didn't like Coast to Coast Ghosts for the same reason; I don't know why I thought this would be any different.
I can't believe she would write such a bland book and give it such a dynamic title. You really cannot judge a book by its cover. Skip this one.
