If this book was supposed to be a gothic-ghost like-story then be disappointed! I know i am! I saw the movie last week & it really made me jump from my seat! The details in the movie were much better than the book! It wasn’t scary at all & i couldn’t feel suspense, thriller or anything terrifying.

Let’s discuss the narrative! was kinda boring! I hate novels that contains un-neccessary descriptions more than conversations! It just bores me, beside it didn’t do any good to the story. The characters; the whole novel was about Arthur Kipps that’s it! Other characters will appear once or twice! One character also brings boredom to the reader. As for the story, it was good but the style of writing didn’t do any good to it. I liked the ending of the book more than the movie’s but that’s it! Nothing more to like about this book!

A classically and nearly perfectly structured ghost story, the atmosphere is sublime and the story is eerie and doesn’t overstay its welcome. It does not break the mold at all, but that is its charm.

This book was not scary. It was so predictable and I'm glad it was only 138 pages. For a scary book this seriously failed! But I am sure the movie is very scary. You could add a lot to the atmosphere with music and environment.
