I read this book as a child and loved it but returning to it now, I just don't understamd the appeal. I had hoped to be scared or to love the characters but I'm just not sure. And the ending? Far too abrupt, it wasn't that I really wanted to read on, more that I felt there was a page missing!
This said, still a classic ghost story with all the original tropes. Perhaps in today's age of horror films, this original story just doesn't live up as it used to.
