mamakarlita 's review for:

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
2.0
So.Many.Words. I skimmed through at least the first 20 pages, waiting for something interesting to happen. Laden with description, it eventually got to the point and I mostly read the rest of the book without skimming much. This really would have been much better as a short story. I could sum up the book in four sentences:
Spoiler Lawyer has to go to dead ladies house far away. Sees woman in black twice on the way there. Creepy noises in the fog, empty chair rocking, finds out story of the woman in black who is (gasp) a ghost. Ghost later kills his wife and kid
Spoiler . I just saved you several hours of reading. You're welcome.
