The silence of ghosts

This book was just okay. The style fit the time period and diary concept, but the characters were pretty two-dimensional, especially the main character's parents. You have to suspend disbelief a bit not over the ghosts but over the idea that while running for his life this guy actually grabbed his diary first. Not much happens for the first two-thirds or so and then in the final third literally everything happens, so there are a lot of things that are mentioned once and immediately dropped again.
