* Whats with all the diffrent species? How does someone turn into one and not the other? Actually, there are a lot of problems with that. When I first read this, I hated it, but that was my biggest complaint. Is it like a lottery? Does it depend on the type of death? Explain book, explain!

* For that matter, if time in Ghostopolis is crazy enough to the point that the spirit of someone who wasn't even born and died yet is in it, why isn't Garth there as a ghost as well?

** Cecil, at one point, said that time works differently in the afterlife. I personally assumed that it was like the series finale of [[spoiler:''{{Lost}}'', where everyone entered the afterlife at once, even though they all died at different times. That said, if I'm right, I definitely think [=TenNapel=] could have made it more clear]]. However, this explanation gives rise to another problem...

* Cecil points out how unnatural it is that Garth is capable of so much so soon, but the book never addresses why this is the case. Just what makes Garth so special that he's more powerful than the average Ghostopolis foreigner?

* Why didn't [[spoiler:Cecil's ghost apologize to Garth's mother in person? The book pretty much establishes that ghosts can be seen by {{Muggles}}]].
