Peeled

This week I continued reading Peeled by Joan Bauer. I read a bunch, but not much happened :[. That seems to happen a lot in this book, but I'll get to that later... Anyway, though there has been little development in the plot, I guess there's enough to talk about. The only major advancement was that a little girl that Hildy used to babysit claimed she saw a ghost in the window of the Ludlow house and was so startled she fell off her bike. After the incident, she claimed that, because she fell, the house has some magical agenda to hurt children. The rest of the many, many, MANY pages I read were just Hildy going through her daily business. She'd work at the market, give tours of her farm, nothing special.
Time to get down to business. I honestly don't know why everyone recommends this book so much. If you ask me, it's EXTREMELY slow moving and the plot is just like any other murder mystery. Practically everyone I know says this book is amazing, but it's really not that special. I'm seriously considering abandoning it. However, every time I go to pick up a new book I think what if Peeled has a really great ending and I'm missing it?! Decisions, decisions.

P.S.
I commented on Becca's blog.
