So I just finished The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and was looking up some other people's reviews and analysis to bounce my ideas off of and I found these two. Random fuckening dudes. With such gems as:
• "Shirley Jackson is an okay writer" and the opening paragraph is "not bad"
• There is SOME good writing in the book
• The end fizzles out, as all Shirley Jackson's work does
• There's too much unnecessary content, like the characters talking to each other
• Eleanor came there to disguise herself and kills herself when she's found out
• Eleanor finds something about herself is so unappealing that she kills herself so she can be special
• "The ending needed to be executed better"
• "Why is she afraid at the end??"
HELLO?? DID YOU TWO READ THE BOOK? DID YOU COMPLETE 10TH GRADE ENGLISH?? ARE YOU BOYS FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
