melongin 's review for:

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
3.5
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I read it for a book club. I did enjoy it, it just didn't blow me away, although I'm not really one for the horror genre. I think my expectations were high because of the Netflix TV show based on the book. I didn't realize the book was completely different with just the house and the names of the characters being the same as the TV show.
