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.

This is my favourite book of all time, just read it after 4 years again and loved it. this is such a classic, gothic ghost story and it really sucks you in to the world, i felt like it was all happening to me which made it so much more terrifying. i struggled to put this book down, it is amazingly well-written, i would strongly recommend!!!
