This book was a gift to me. I recieved it along with another book. I didn't read until the next Christmas. At the time it wasn't my style, but as I grew older I can honestly say that this book gave me a taste for horror stories. Great plot and great scenes of horror.
Not so much horror as entertainment. Unbelievable yet engaging story concerning a very naughty evil spirit and its doings over the century, culminating in attempting to destroy an ocean liner.
This is an easy read. Though it is probably too long at 550 pages. The horror is mild, it is not a gory story. To be honest I was a little confused by the abrupt ending and was not sure what the evil in the story actually was.
