Charlie St Cloud

The book I read was Charlie St Cloud. The author of this book is Ben Sherwood.The topic of this book is about a boy named Charlie and how his life goes on after the tragic death of his little brother Sam. I choose this book cause my mom read it and said I would love it. Also it has drama, adventure, action, and romance, all the things I9 love in a book.
Charlie St Cloud wanted nothing other then to keep his promises to his little brother Sam. He promised to practice baseball every day at sunset cannons until Charlie left for collage. The second promise he made to Sam was to always be there for him and to always be his brother. Then one day a tragic accident happened and Sam and Charlie where killed in a car crash. Luckily Charlie was revived but unfortunately Sam did did. After this Charlie had an extraordinary gift that he could see, walk, and talk with the dead. So with this gift, Charlie could keep his promise to his dead brother. When doing this Charlie meets a girl named Tess Carrol and is forced to choose between his little brother and the girl he loves in an adventure he will never forget.
I like this book because after reading even the first page, I was hooked and didn't want to put it down. I also liked this book because it was a fairly easy to read. Some things I didn't like was sometimes it got a little confusing who the story was talking about, because it switches between Tess and Charlie . This book is appropriate for seventh graders and up. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. I think anyone would like this book, but girls might enjoy it more though.
