I genuinely don't know what readers see in this book these days. It may have been shocking back in the day, and maybe it was just so unusual that people praised it for "going there", but at this point it's so dated and I can't take any of this seriously. What's even more disappointing is that none of this is actually scary. Basically, I really don't understand the appeal.
Also, yes, I know I'm giving a rating to something I technically didn't finish, but I'm pretty comfortable with this because I'm at the point where (considering I know the story because of the film) there really isn't anything this book can do to win me over.
