 uummmm.... March 9, 2010
S. Dale (Worcestershire UK)
Having read a lot of the reviews, I eagerly read The Little Stranger. A reasonable start, thought the bit with Gip the dog was good and thought this was the start of someting big. It then got very tedious and a little, 'blah, blah, ish' ...but I stayed with it. It picked up its pace in the middle again, but, the ending....well, what a disappointment, who was the ghost???? Or have I completely missed the point. Having not read any Sarah Waters before, not sure atfer this i will either?

This book was chosen by my book group, and I started to read with some trepidation having looked at the blurb which said things like 'I had to sleep with the light on...' But I really enjoyed it, it's a page-turner, set in post-war warwickshire. Technically a ghost story I suppose, but very well written (listed for the Man Booker prize) and dwelling more on the effect of the 'happenings' on the people involved, and the way the same events can be interpreted differently by different people. Recommended!

Overall a good read but annoying. It's the typical "Let me stay and look after you". "Oh no I'm fine, you go home I'll be ok" .......and of course she's not fine and it's not ok! What a surprise.

I listened to this story on CD, and it was enjoyable. But if I had read the book, I think it may have been boring and cumbersome in parts.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Waters' latest novel. It engaged me from the very first sentence. Her ability to re-create the period just after the war and her unerring ability to build her characters draw the reader in immediately. However, I cannot agree with other (far more famous) reviewers who claim they had to sleep with the light on after reading it!
The Little Stranger is an excellent read and I can highly recommend it but please don't think it's a horror story.
