Rasing the Dead continues the story of Charlotte Silver. While the story in Raising the Dead reads okay there have been some grammatical errors as well as inconsistencies. More than once there was a word missing or sentences were awkwardly structured. What was most off-putting about the short story was that it says in one of the first chapters that William has pictures of his grandchildren in the family photo album. A few chapters later he tells Charlotte that if he ever had grandchildren he would pick her. That makes no sense. Either he has grandchildren or he doesn't. An error like this should not happen, especially not in a book as short as Raising the Dead. Another thing that bothered me was Charlotte's sudden obsession with Noah. Where did it come from? I know they are friends and they went to prom but it still felt like it came from zero to this. And why was a complete rehash of the last novel needed? Especially Charlotte repeating three times about her experience with the dead. Once, alright but why was it needed three times?
