Lenta, a pesar de ser corta tiene páginas de más dónde no ocurre nada. Segundo caso que me encuentro en que la película resultó ser mejor que la novela que la inspiró.

First off, I read this book because I liked the movie and I was hoping it would be just a little more like the movie. It was disappointing because it focused so much on the pony and trap noises instead of the woman herself.
It also seemed very confusing because he would go back and forth between different houses and get to much information from each. The ending, I kinda expected because I watched the movie but it seemed weird to me that his wife was alive. I guess, in one word, this book was disappointing.
I recommend this to people who like thriller books.

Very atmospheric setting. When I was younger, we used to sit around and tell ghost stories, and this is a lot like the stories we would tell. The build-up was tense and creepy, and the ending added that extra cherry on top to scare you. I listened to this as well as read it at the same time. the Narrating was done very well and had me turning as fast as I was listening, wanting to learn the truth. It is told from Arthur Kipps' perspective. The writing flowed with very descriptive details.
