You will like this book if:

• You like to read books that can get quite creepy, not scary, but definitely unnerving.
• You are interested in studying creepy pictures (did you notice the girl on the cover is floating?) or you are interested in photography yourself.
• You would be interested in a book that mixes realism and fantasy.
• You wish you had or know people that have "special" gifts.
• You like books with small romantic twists.
• You liked the movie Big Fish or even Groundhog Day.

You will not like this book if:

• You hate when books are left open-ended.
• You can't suspend your belief in reality as you read fantasy.
• You are scared of the dark or of the monster hiding under your bed.

Extra Note #1:  My favorite part of this book were the pictures.  Some were definitely creepy!  Others you could tell were doctored in some way.  As I read, I couldn't help but imagine how the author must have put all the pictures together and let those images tell the story, instead of the other way around.  I have never read a book created like that before.  Absolutely an adventure I enjoyed!
