3.5 this book is a fast read with a good old school ghost tale. I feel it is very much of its time through the way it is written. I did enjoy it and all the events describing the woman however there aren't that many moment with her, small glimpses but never chilling. That is untill the end. The 2012 film is better as a whole however the book's ending while similar gave me a chill. Was tempted to give 4 stars however I feel it was lacking

4.5

Amazing and terrifying. I had seen and loved the film and thought that maybe knowing the story would make the experience of reading it less enjoyable, but the slight differences in the story to the film and the way the suspense is written made it as spooky and fascinating as it could possibly be. Everything made sense, and every action by the protagonist was rational — I felt utterly engrossed in the story, and felt truly chilled as I read it.
