Utterly dull and sleep-inducing. Super slow story telling, with very little excitement. If it had been an audiobook, it would've flown from one ear to another.
I've heard some stories of Sleepy Hollow and have always thought it was fascinating but reading the real thing was super disappointing. It wasn't creepy and the post script section made the story even more infuriatingly boring.
Rip Van Winkle sounded interesting too, at first. But despite being really short, it was also uneventful. I don't think I'll be picking up any more Washington Irving in the future.
