The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

2.0

I'd say the biggest problem with The Woman in Black is the pacing: the plot takes much too long to pick up and the long set up lacks any real sense of tension or suspense. I have a super low fear tolerance, but really only a few passages had me even mildly scared. The buckets of time spent on the atmosphere and visuals let me see how it could translate to some awesome staging in play form, but overall The Woman in Black didn't work for me as a book or really even as a ghost story.
