Hmmm...read it in a day...which could be because the font is super large. Not really all that frightening to me to be honest. I think this would actually, in all honesty, be one of those books that high school teachers would use in English Lit to talk about symbolism of guilt and to show how guilt can take hold of you and rot you from the inside out. It just seemed to be a recurring theme of the book for like all major characters involved. Edward...guilt over his mother's death because he didn't come when called. Eve...guilt over giving up her child for adoption. Harry...guilt over not being able to save his comrades lives. Jennet...guilt over not being able to raise her son and him dying. It was all about GUILT. Ugh...moving on.
Apparently, the original The Woman in Black by Susan Hill is supposed to be a great psychological thriller so I'm thinking of picking that one up. This one is supposed to be a sequel and just loosely based on Hill's premise. I'm hoping the first one will have more detail into what the fuck originally happened because this one just kind of hints at what the fuck is up. It's one of those books where you legit have to read the first one to know what's going on. You get the gist but there's no detail. I would have to say though, I'm sure it will be much more frightening in film since so many creative liberties tend to be taken with movies.
Eh...on to the next book...
