A review by ws_bookclub
All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn

2.0

All in all, I thought it was just there. Nothing wonderful, but nothing terrible either. The premise, a practical joke that wakes up some unwanted things of the deceased nature, is an entertaining one. However, I didn't like the conclusion. I felt things were wrapped up almost too neatly. I would have loved if this book was just a little bit longer, giving the author more of a chance to flesh out some characters, and explaining the motivation behind a couple of them. It felt rushed, possibly because the author was under the impression that longer books discourage younger readers. If my oldest son is any indication, the length of the book isn't as important as the quality.
