Such a gripping, dark and mysterious book. I could barely bring myself to put it down once I started reading it - I read this in less than three days! The journey of the main character and the story he unveiled about the woman in black kept me glued to the the pages of the book. I have felt tense, with my heart beating fast, the entire time reading this book, its words flowing so gently and fast in front of my eyes. I felt that the end was quite predictable and this is the only reason why I’ve deducted a star off my ranking, otherwise a great book! Now I’m very intrigued about the film and play adaptations, which I’ll hopefully watch very soon!
