The multitude of typos aside, this is hit or miss. Honestly, I found the strengths of the book actually laid in talking about Seattle history, not ghosts. I certainly learned a lot about the various historical figures, events, and scandals, but found the paranormal material thin on the ground. Too many entries could basically be summed up as "there's a lot of burials around here and someone's reported feeling weird at this place, so it must be haunted." Those entries are even more disappointing when they're flagged as locations that warranted a paranormal investigation, but there's nothing about the investigation itself.
Despite the critique, this book's certainly not *bad*. It was readable and moderately entertaining, so it did the job--it just didn't do the job as well as it could have. There's a much better book in here that a good editor could have brought out and didn't. If you take the "Spooked in Seattle" tour (highly recommended!), you'll get a feel for what this book could have been. ( )
