The translation seemed to follow the original almost word for word...right up to this point. Then both the translation and the story veered off. I'm unsure that this is inherently a bad thing yet.

Alas, the library wanted it back before I could finish. What I read was intriguing though...

Love the concept, but got bogged down in book 3. May return to this at a later date

Always fun to read variations on a favorite. I think this author had a lot of fun with it ;)

Got this on a Kindle sale because the time/place it takes place is similar to that of my own WIP. Enjoying quite well so far - rich characterization, good suspense, a bit of supernatural horror.

I appear to be writing a novel with elements of ambitious psychological horror, so I thought I ought to read what else has been done in that vein. Liking it so far - the protagonist's neuroses serve to create the atmosphere as much as Hill House itself does.
