I didn't like this book because with all of the names and setting and notes going back and forth with the characters, it is very confusing because you do not know who is who after a while. I would definitly not recommend this book to anybody!

This book was a great book. I like how the author makes the names of the characters sound weird, like Olive C. Spense and Seamore Hope. the names are cool because the describe the characters. I would recommend this book.

Dying to Meet You was an interesting book. It was about an auther named I. B. Grumply and he is writing his 13th book he hasn't wrote a ghost tamer book(a ghost tamer book) in 20 years. So he rents a house called the victorian Lady on 43 Old Cemetery Road and I.B. Grumply finds a boy named Seymour Hope and a ghost named Olive C. Spence. He must take care of Seymour Hope and he doesn't enjoy it much

I loved it! Because Iggy thought Olive was a myth or not realm or not R.I.P.. Also that Semyour was telling the truth and Iggy or Ignatius didn't believe Semyour. Guess what Anita Sale let Iggy rent the house for the summer to write his book. Paige Turner ( Iggy's publisher) Is mad becuseIggy'S book was already due. Gadds is Iggy's lawyer and pays for everything dollar by dollar and cent by cent! Paige Turner hired Frank N. Beans a pirvate investagator and spying on Iggy, Semyour and (Olive)

Every one has writers block but for Ignatous B. Grumply the auther of the fameous "Ghost Tamer" series it turn into a ghost story with Olive C. Spence, who was also a writer. Seymour Hope is the child of the owners and he has a cat named Shadow. They both live at Spence Mansion. Ignatious rents Spence Mansion so he can write in quite, but yet does he know Spence Mansion is haunted by Olive C. Spence
