Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Brooklynn Henry

Summery
The House of Dies Drear is about a 13-year-old boy named Thomas, who moves into a large old house which used to belong to an underground railroad conductor helping slaves escape to Canada. Thomas is suspicious about the house when he finds things unknown to most other people other than Dies Drear and the groundskeeper Mr. Pluto. The house is said to be haunted, making it even more mysterious.
Opinion
The House of Dies Drear is a mysterious and confusing book that can easialy lose it's reader's attention. A lot of the conversations are long, boring, and are off subject. The first few chapters and a couple of the middle chapters have the longest conversations. There are few interesting moments.
Recommendations
I would recommend this book for people who enjoy mysterys. Readers who are dedicated may also enjoy the book. As for age, the youngest I would recommend would be late fourth grade because it is so confusing and has high vocabulary. Any readers younger might get confused or lost in this book.
