Review:
A true ghost story - the kind that lays its cold fingers on you, grips tight and doesn't let go even when the last page has been turned - Wonderfully spine-chilling. (THE BOOKSELLER)
Such is McNish's skill that when you read of the young hero Jack's asthma attacks, you'll find your own breathing feels constricted. He evokes the same empathy when dealing with the ghosts who haunt Jack, taking us into the realms of inventiveness that are his trademark. Breathtaking. (THE GUARDIAN)
Just the thing for adolescents in search of something engagingly horrible ... startling. (THE INDEPENDENT)
Scary, disturbing and intense, a thoroughbred amongst haunted house tales. (SFX)
Breathe is a brilliantly inventive ghost story, compellingly written. It is spine-chilling, disturbing and truly frightening. A real page turner. (BOOKTRUST)
An astoundingly creative story, with some truly scary moments ... the remarkable way in which Mcnish develops the theme of breathing, including an acutely well-drawn representation of Jack's chronic asthma, and you find yourself with a multi-layered story that will genuinely unnerve the reader, in a way so many ghost stories fail to do. (BOOKS FOR KEEPS)
A genuinely spooky ghost story that leaves you breathless. (FIRST NEWS)
This is a tautly-written psychological thriller. A genuinely spooky story; the kind you read at arm's length, neck prickling and with the lights on. (SCHOOL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION)
You shouldn't really read this before you go to sleep. (THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
An intense supernatural story that haunts the reader. (THE FUNDAY TIMES)
