Darren Warner _arren_arner — For one who writes so convincingly in the voice of a teenage girl, using trendy pop lingo and acquiescing completely to the modern world in which the girl lives, author Richard Peck still most definitely has one foot firmly planted in the camp of the old-fashioned writers of bygone days. As one of few prominent authors today who still produce their books exclusively by way of typewriter, Richard Peck has nevertheless written many stories that embrace the most modern of technologies. He frequently makes use of these cutting-edge advances to further his narratives, and does it quite comfortably from behind the familiar tap-tap-tap of the typewriter's keys. Richard Peck may be best known for his historical fiction novels, which have won him most of the big awards in the field of literature for children and young adults, yet it was with his teen ghost stories that he first made his indelible mark as an author. Three Quarters Dead is a return to those early roots of his success, in the form of an unpredictable and off-the-wall ghost story that will keep readers guessing at every turn. Kerry is only a sophomore at her high school when a small, elite group of the most popular seniors at the school grafts her in to become one of them. This is a high honor that isn't extended to just anyone; the three senior girls who have offered to take Kerry under their wing don't hang out with anyone else who's not a senior, so for Kerry to be given access to their group is a nigh upon miraculous occurrence. Kerry has no idea how quickly things for her will change when her three senior friends—Tanya, Makenzie and Natalie—meet a swift and horrifying end in an accident that vastly changes the dynamic at their school. Kerry's relationship with the three girls was complicated and it never had been clear to her whether they actually liked her or were just holding on to her as a commodity that might turn out to be useful at a later date, but Kerry still struggles emotionally with the reality of their sudden and violent death. That is, she struggles with it until the day she receives a new text message from Tanya... What is going on here? Kerry went to her friends' funerals and saw the grieving relatives, even if she herself never actually looked at the bodies of the three dead girls on display. There's no way that Tanya, Makenzie and Natalie could still be alive, but is it possible that a more profound, mysterious law of life is taking command here? Is it possible that Tanya, she of the most forceful and winning personality one will ever come up against, has found a way to refuse her own death and go on living as if the accident that claimed her life never happened? As I see it, the greatest asset to Three Quarters Dead is the book's easy, compelling readability. It's not necessarily a novel of high suspense or daring intrigue, but the writing flows nicely and fits the story perfectly, revealing a little bit at a time of the bigger picture behind the mystery as we inch ever nearer to the book's climax. I enjoyed this novel, and there's a chance that I would give it the full two stars.

Uğur Karataş ugurkrts11861 — What an interesting mystery. We did an Alaskan cruise last year and on of our day trips was to a musher camp. We got a quick ride on a dogsled, well it was on rollers I believe but the dogs were thrilled to race along the trail pulling us all. This mystery covers the race each day along the way, with a little mayhem thrown in of course. You get a real sense of the conditions and strategy involved and of the spirit of the mushers. The plot is solid, lots of red herrings and the heroine is one I am anxious to catch up with again.
