The Turn of the Screw and Other Short Fiction by Henry James

2.0

---

Only read The Turn of the Screw. It was a labor to read. Long, rambling sentences overshadowed only by even longer paragraphs spanning several pages. The ghost story was okay, I guess, but Henry James uses 500 words to accomplish what he could with 5, and I found myself mostly skimming to find where he gets to the point.
