Query: Ridiculous

I was so excited to delve into a scary summer read. What a mistake I made in choosing this book. The characters are totally unbelievable - especially the teenage boys. I should have stopped reading when it was remarked that one of the teenage boys used his "handkerchief" to clean up his dog's mess. A handkerchief? I quickly doublechecked the time and setting of the book. I thought maybe it was Victorian England. In my opinion the book went downhill from there. I ended up skimming the last 100 pages just to be finished with it. The only fright I got from this book was that I actually paid for it.
