Good lord, was this disappointing. If you know me, you know how much I love The Haunting of Hill House, so I'm sure you can imagine how much I was looking forward to this. But instead of an eerie romp with unreliable characters, I got a mildly creepy slog through the minds of four completely insufferable narcissists. And while I'm sure the author intended the characters to be difficult, I'm not sure that she meant for them to be quite so unbearable to read from (and for 10 hours, no less).

Att ta en underbar klassiker och göra det till en bok där alla karaktärer är dumma i huvet - det gör mig besviken och arg. En besvikelse deluxe..

This book was dark, eerie, and suspenseful. I must admit I spent most of the book being confused. I was hoping it would be explained or resolved in some way but it wasn’t.
