The Haunting of Hill House

Disappointing for me. I stopped reading after 70% or so and continued with a detailed summary instead.

While I really like the theme of this story, I guess I'm just not a sucker for old books. I have a hard time describing what usually ruins them for me, but it has something to do with how the characters behave. It is somehow unauthentic, as if books back then were written with a different intention than making the characters seem as real as possible. They feel more like those exaggerated characters from theatre plays or old movies. Just not my cup of tea.
