I'll let the book itself tell it my main sensation was one of tedium and a certain lethargy, combined with a desire to finish the job As a love letter and homage to Victorian ghosts stories, it fell very short. Hill clearly is familiar with the elements, which is necessary, but then fumbles th...
Well, this one was a little tedious for me. Maybe I wasn't in the mood. I'm not sure how it could read fast and slow at the same time, but it did. I think it could have used a little more to it. Not horrible, but just a little better than ok. 2+ Stars.
I gave this story 4.5 stars. However I had to round it up on Goodreads to 5 stars.So I don't know if I am rating this favorable because the last two books I finished made me want to scream and kick something or not.

I was intrigued by our main character, and I always love the framing device of someone looking back on their past and writing about it--I'm not sure why, but th...
I've read - and, I will admit, been slightly underwhelmed by - Susan Hill's other ghost stories, The Small Hand and The Man In The Picture. It's not that there's anything wrong with them, more that there's something right and in achieving that, the stories became slightly too familiar, slightly too ...
Une histoire d'horreur et de fantômes glaçante, encore un livre dont j'ignorais l'existence et que j'ai découvert grâce au film. Une très bonne ambiance, qui s'installe de façon pernicieuse et vient tout doucement faire frisonner le lecteur, jusqu'à provoquer des sueurs froides à la lecture de ces q...
