Opinion

        I think the book is wonderful. I have never read anything like it, but I plan to read more. The book kept me hooked with its unique style. I would recommend this to a friend. The reason for this being it is very well executed. Like the fact that it doesn't only carry utterly simple sentences throughout the whole book. I am also a sucker for suspense and mystery. Though, the horror aspect might not be for everyone I know. 

Final Thoughts

     This particular style of book is Gothic. I have never read a Gothic book before in my short lifetime. Would you read this book based on this information? Have you? If yes, what were your feelings on it?
