Oh, heavens! What a breath of fresh air to read a classic gothic novel that laced with intricately earnest writing! The dramatics, the passion, the foreboding in which calamity will fall upon these characters! Notwithstanding its engrossing story, the part in which this book lack, is that all mystery are solved by account of the characters' explanation dialogues instead of letting it uncover by itself. Yet this is by no means a great obstacle that should dissuade you from picking up this book.
