Gosh! I don't fancy ghost tales much, and I believe less in them too. But personal reservations and beliefs aside, "Ghost with Two Hearts" by Michael R French sounds intriguing to entice me to read it. I didn't get a scary vibe from the review, and Kami, the ghost seems even-minded and cordial enough to be considered scary. The book sounds so heartwarming when I read about the interaction between Adrian and the ghost. Maybe, I'll consider reading it at a later time.

I'm definitely interested to learn more about Japan. It seems that Adrain gets more than he bargains for, as well as valuable lessons. I like the supernatural and physical mix and I'm definitely reading this soon. Thanks for a great review. Congrats on BOTD and thanks for the free book.

Adrian Green's choice of visit for a break is really different and I wonder why he is destined to meet the lonely ghost. The book has a lot of questions in store and I would read to find out.

This review is compelling! The way the author seamlessly intertwines the physical and spiritual worlds fascinates me. Adrian's journey, from returning the samurai sword to navigating his relationship with the ghost of Emiko, seems like a captivating exploration of culture and forgiveness. The lessons about accepting imperfection and the importance of forgiveness are themes that resonate deeply. Overall, this sounds like a must-read for anyone interested in supernatural tales with cultural depth.

Nice review. Adrain Green, a software engineer, visits Japan to return a samurai sword his grandfather took. His trip is disrupted by a ghost, Kami, in his rented space.

"Ghost With Two Hearts" effectively blends supernatural and physical elements, teaching lessons on cultural respect and forgiveness. Michael R. French's detailed descriptions enrich the story. Despite some reservations about the ending, the book is enjoyable with strong writing and character dynamics.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because I am not interested in studying any asian culture, history and traditions, including Japan. From everything I was able to gather about it, I came to the conclusion that our mentality differs a lot, and therefore I prefer to skip the book. Congrats with BOTD!

I enjoyed your review. I lived in Yokosuka, Japan, for two years in the seventies, so I know a little bit about Japanese culture. I is extremely different than our culture in the United States.

I like a book that combines the supernatural and the physical realms, as there's some sort of mystery and uncertainty that appeals to me so much. And, this book is also a lovely journey toward understanding Japan a little more.

"Ghost with Two Hearts" is another book I'm excited to dive into. I value every opportunity to learn something new, which is why reading is so important to me. It opens up a world of possibilities at my own pace, allowing authors to share their worlds and perspectives on various topics and ideas. With the hustle and bustle of our current lives, we often don't take enough time to rejuvenate or share new experiences with each other. We also tend to overlook enjoying what we have. I'm particularly interested in this book because it explores Japan, and I look forward to the stories it shares. Thank you for your review; it offers a glimpse of what's ahead, and I believe I'll enjoy it. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.
