Listening to the audio version really saved this for me & meant I read it really quickly but if I’d sat down & read a physical copy I don’t think my experience would have been nearly so good. 

It kinda just failed to create a spooky atmosphere & because the event they were building up to was described so vaguely I didn’t really have any impending sense of doom that this format is so clearly written for. 

Not really the plot for me either :/
Bunch of posh guys reminiscing about the terrible stuff they did at boarding school? Not so great.
