so-soI‘m not gonna lie- I think I am too dumb for this one. I enjoyed the imagery and ideas of a haunted house as a generational curse, but I was confused very often. I don‘t have an issue with being confused. I‘m just not sure if that was the point or not.
Not for me but not a bad book!
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️While this author can definitely write gothic novels like no other, and this one holds in terms of style, but oof these characters! They took stars away especially the narrator, Phillip! This guy was beyond dumb, to the point of irritating more and not allowing to me to enjoy this this more.
I read a little but more on this list. My top 3:
1. Frankenstein
2. The House on Mango Street
3. Kindred

24/100: four better than last week. 😂 Some of these made me cringe just by looking at the cover (talking to you, LORD JIM)!
Three faves:
JANE EYRE: in my top 5 of all time.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE: best ghost story ever written.
THE GREAT GATSBY: loved this since I first read it in high school--I still have my original book with all of my notes inside.
panI love a good gothic story. LOVE. But this is an endless and repetitive internal monologue. It's just the heroine saying the same damn thing over and over and over. To herself. Which means that not only is it boring, but the plot does not advance much. Pan.
