poppyshake Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Finished this book yesterday and my review can be found in my reading list blog. (Sorry no hyperlink as I do not have 10 posts yet.) Gave the book 8/10 overall as I liked the slow build and felt it increased the tension really nicely that so when something supernatural did it happen it was all the more scary. As I said in previous post it did give me many goose-bump moments. However there is no big surprise or incident at the end and I feel the story peters out a little. It is certainly not as scary as many of the reviews on the inside of the book claim, but is a good read and one I would still recommend. I thought this because I missed the twist .. then I read there was a twist (though Sarah is a bit ambivalent about this) and went back and saw it as plain as day. Creepy more than terrifying but I like the way it tricked me into going down all the wrong paths. Quote
Inver Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Have to say this one is beginning to drag a bit.... Quote
gardengirl Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 It's definitely not horror i would say it's more atmospheric than creepy but a very good read nonetheless. Hope you enjoy it Julie Very good book, I really enjoyed it, it's a very typical English slightly creepy story. Felt it would make a really good film too! The first Sarah Waters book that I have actually enjoyed. Quote
Inver Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Can somebody PM me the twist as I think I completely missed it and to be honest can't be bothered trying to work it out... Quote
Inver Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Had two replies and as it happened I hadn't missed it at all... Quote
