xandy_lx 's review for:

The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
3.5
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A gothic tale of a haunting with lots of twists. It became very confusing who was alive mid-way through and why the blame was on Miles without a cause mentioned. I did enjoy the writing style. I think a full circle debrief at the end with the storyteller in chapter 1 would have helped lessen the confusion.
