This book is wonderful for younger writers wanting to explore different genres - in this case, paranormal and mystery.The characters felt very much fleshed out - yes, even the ghosts without any! - and made me feel the deepest sympathies for all involved. From the Ghost Mother and her child's tragic backstories, to her daughter's last moments, I constantly had a tear threatening to fall from beginning to end.Thank you Cliff, for inspiring me and I'm sure many other young minds in the world ofFans of The Sixth Sense (yep, it's about a boy who "talks to dead people") and general creepiness will like the concept, but the pieces did not make a satisfying whole for me. Too much build up, too convenient a resolution, and the plot was thin in places. Lone Star winner for 2008-09.
This story is about a boy with asthma who after his dad dying can feel traces of the dead in old furniture well it was only traces until he moves to a creepy old house (yes very clique I know) It was a good book however it was a bit like other ones with the whole breathing/asthma thing but I did enjoy it and raced through it.

It's got a deliciously creepy cover, of ghost faces peering out of windows, clearly old photographs blown up to fuzzy proportions, but very effective. It's got a good title: Breathe suggests tiredness, desperation, holding still in fear. The cross hatch drawings by Geoff Taylor that start each chapter add a wonderful old-style atmosphere to the text.But that's all I can find to say positive about this book. From page two it fails. The book was published in 2006, with the children its ghosts used
Also view at Bookmarks and Blogging3.5 starsI class myself as a horror fan. Not a big one, mind you, but I do enjoy a scary story every now and again. I like being left shaken and wondering if the things from the book are actually real and are coming to get me, even if it means I don't get to sleep for a week.Maybe it's because I mainly read Stephen King when I read horror, or maybe it's because I'm not as much as a wimp as I first thought, but Breathe wasn't very scary. Quite creepy, yes, but
Breathe, by Cliff McNish is a thrilling and shivering novel about a young boy who has a sense for feeling ghosts. This assiduous author, I can tell, really put thought into this novel because of the way it is written. I never really thought of the things that were written into this book and never really thought of ghosts this way before. That is the reason why I think this book was intensely amazing.Jack, the main character who has asthma, moves into a new, antiquated home after the recent death
I preread this book to see if it was "too scary" for my kids. It was, but not because the ghosts were scary -- because there was too much despair. I don't usually write spoilers, but in this book you have:o Ghosts trapped in the plane of the living by other, predatory ghosts.o Ghosts draining other ghosts of their energy in order to save themselves from the "Nightmare passage" (a place like hell, but you don't go there because you are bad, you go there because your spirit energy is drained in
