Interesting, but.... The plot was quite intriguing, and kept me on my toes the whole time. The writing could get long-winded sometimes, and it was a bit difficult to understand sometimes (Dickens-esque), but if you get past that (rereading or skimming and skipping), the plot keeps you going and wondering. However, there were too many loose ends for my liking, and the characters remained a mystery. I know that the author purposely did that, that it was his style for the novel, but I just don't like that personally. I would've liked to know at least the children better and had a bit more of a conclusive ending. All in all, it's worth a read, but if you like everything to be neatly tied up, this isn't the book for you.

The turn of the screw. Sloppy sloppy

Creepily Lovely. A quick read, but long enough to captivate you.

confused and disappointed. I had to read this book for a literature class and I have to say that I am a person who loves books and has a very high reading level but I can not for the life of me understand the plot. The writing is all over the place and the characters are vague and not introduced very well. Not to mention the 19th century vocabulary which is a battle all on its own.

Turn of the Screw. It is difficult to read the prose style of Henry James. Long, windy sentences with many parenthetical phrases. But the plot is so engaging that I read through to the tragic end.

Confused. This book had a couple of great details , but I was more so confused with the plot of the book. I felt that some parts were all over the place. They never really introduce certain characters , they simply speak about them and you as the reader have to figure out who they are and what the connection is. I also felt it was much unnecessary detail and took too long to get to the actual story line. I just wanted a little bit more from this “horror fiction”.

Good read. I read this book for an author assignment as a Junior, and I have to say there were times when it gave me goosebumps, but for the most part, it was kind of hard to get through, especially at parts where there was not a lot going on. James's extensive vocabulary makes busy use of the "define" feature on my iPad, and the ending has you looking up a summary of what the heck just happened. Despite all this, it was a good book to indulge in, and had the perfect feel of a classic ghost story.

Fantastic writing.. A must.

“Turn Of The Screw”. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I had read this in college and had mostly forgotten it. When I had the opportunity I watched one of the films based upon the book. I was curious to know how much had been changed, altered, and/or omitted. This was the impetus for me to re~read the book. I highly recommend this story.

My Wife and I Read This to Each Other While Sick in Bed. My wife was seriously ill and recovering from surgery and I was convalescing from having two strokes. We lay in bed and took turns reading this to each other over two or three nights. It was the last book my wife read before she passed. It’s a great ghost story that we both enjoyed. It holds a special place in my heart, not only because of its sentimental value but also because it was a much needed respite/escape from being sick and anxious.

... I had to read this book for a summer reading book for school and I didnt understand this book at all!!!!! Hate it!! To many big words that i didnt understand

Fell Asleep Reading It. It's not as good as Daisy Miller. I think Henry James should have elaborated more on Quint and Jessel. They were supposedly evil but why? There were subtle hints but nothing really concrete. Kind of confusing because of that.

Not For The Light-Hearted. I did this book as a exam in Year 11 and found the language to sometimes be quite complicated but the at the end it has a great cliffhanger.

Trash. Absolute trash

DATED ‘CLASSIC’. Time hasn’t been kind to this novel. Too long winded making it slow and tedious despite it being a half way decent story even if a little tame compared to today’s similar fiction.
