I actually did hear people complaining how slow it was. And it is slow. I don’t know how many pages there are, but I felt like it was slow for the first half of the book. I wasn’t at least bored, maybe, because of the voice of the audiobook. He was really into the whole story, and it was infectious. I loved even the slow parts because of the way he was speaking about them.

Just like I did with the Fault in Our Stars 😁

Hmmm… OK I’ll add it to the ‘maybe’ pile then 😉

I’ve read Fingersmith – which I didn’t enjoy quite so much – and Paying Guests which was an amazing read…

Hi! I’m happy you liked it too! Have you written a review of it? I looked on your blog but haven’t found it. Please, leave me the link, if you did. I’m so curious to know what other people thought of it, of the ending in particular.

Thank you! She does, indeed! Have you read any other of her books? How was it?

Thank you Lauren, I’m so happy to hear that 🙂 Yes, it’s exactly that, a mix of gothic and a psychological thriller. I keep seeing people not happy about how slow the book was, so I’m not sure how much you would like it. I personally wouldn’t change anything about the book. The depth of characters was enough for me to keep me entertained.

I haven’t read any other of her books (although now I really want to), but I read online that The Little Stranger is different from all her other works. Still, though, it depends on what you didn’t like. If you didn’t like the writing, for example, I’m not sure she could change it much in a different book.
