I picked this up because i’m a huge fan of the Mike Flanagan TV adaptation, but i knew this wasn’t really going to be much like the show. I did enjoy noticing little things that were included in the show, such as the cup of stars, the Grattan poem and the quotes that were used throughout. 

I did find this slightly boring but i think that’s more because i’m not a huge fan of classics. The writing, however, was beautiful.
