"This classic ghost story is a delight to read. Without “special effects” and unbelievable telling James has written an intriguing horrific plot that sucks you in and doesn’t let go until the last sentence. And what a last sentence it is: total shock! " — esterb (4 out of 5 stars)
"This classic ghost story is a delight to read. Without “special effects” and unbelievable telling James has written an intriguing horrific plot that sucks you in and doesn’t let go until the last sentence. And what a last sentence it is: total shock! "
" This book scared me to death. Made the mistake of reading it at night, on my own on Halloween. Slept with the light on for a week after that. "
" Thought I had better read this after finishing "Florence and Giles" "
" Very interesting story. This is another story in which the reader is allowed to conjecture as to what really happened. The story is vague enough to allow the reader to come up with many conclusions, creating another "turn of the screw". "
" If you love mystery and slightly chilling fiction - this is it. One of those books that I couldn't put down, but had me hiding underneath the covers! "
" I'm working my way through the classics and found this book one of the best. It really plays with one's mind as we never know the truth of the events as they occur. James is a great writer; if only I could write as well! "
" One of my favorite ghost stories (or are they really 'ghosts'?) The whole novella is filled with psychological ambiguity - are the angelic children really evil or is the caring governess insane? "
" This was so dumb. I'm glad I wasn't around during this time period because ghost stories were too boring and wordy. By the time it got to the climax I was totally over it. Just lame and confusing. I'm gonna go eat some cheesecake now and forget what this was about. "
" This novella is very good and very creepy, and it only gets more so the more times you read it. The creepiest part comes when you ask yourself whom you can trust... "
" James has a somewhat convoluted way with a sentence, but once I got with the rhythm, it was enjoyable. I've seen just about every big and little screen adaptation of the story, so it was about time I read the book. "
" Strange book - sudden and suspensful ending. I liked it. "
" I'm not sure I understand the ending... All of that for him just to die???? "
" A very interesting read. The ending seemed rather sudden and unexpected. I enjoyed the blurring between reality and imagination--that it was never certain whether ghosts were really appearing or not. "
