I think this is a good book. It's not something I would usually read, but I'm really glad I decided to read this. 

The fact that this is an Edgar Allan Poe retelling of the fall of the house of usher, is what had me wanting to read it. I haven't read much of poes work and didn't read the short story this is based on but I thought it would be an interesting read and this was definitely interesting. 

It is very creepy and unsettling. Which was to be expected with the type of book this is. I do wish it would've been slightly longer so we could see if what they did in the end actually worked or not. But I'm glad the remainder of the characters in the end happened to be fine and weren't infected by what was surrounding the house and lake. 

I would definitely recommend this book for sure.

The audio book is nowhere near as good as the actual book. The narrator just fell flat, changed accents for one character half way through making a lovable character into a snooty one, and there was an air of condescending throughout. His American character was the best out of a mixed bag.
