A review by bookish_predator
The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert

3.0

3.5 stars

Finally finished!! Some of this book was painfully slow, skim reading rather than paying attention to it but it was so boring in parts, it eventually started to pick up to more creepy goings on but that was at the halfway point and I very nearly put it down and DNF'd it.

The treatment of the children is horrible and, sometimes, horrific, nice little twist or two and ended how I hoped it would, apart from one or two things.

My star rating is due to all the slow and boring parts where my eyes were beginning to glaze over but once the action and story picked up I flew through the rest.

At least there were no massive rats with their biting and clawing and blood thirsty insanity.

Well, except that one rat.
