My heart was literally pounding at some scenes in this. The concept of this book worked SO well, and I can imagine it works better than the movie given how much of the horror and suspense is based on lack of sight. Goodness I was genuinely spooked at some parts of this. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending, though. This was such a perfect length for binging, which as always I think heightens the experience of a good horror/thriller.
