I finished last night, which was great because it's due tomorrow and I wouldn't have been able to renew! I didn't find it spooky so much as it created this really unsettled feeling for me the more I read it. But thoroughly enjoyed this read.
I do have to say that I did not see Nell driving into a tree at the end! Like what the heck?! I didn't think it was smart to let her leave on her own, though I did get the doctor's thought that she needed a clean break from Hill House. I get that she felt she had nothing to go back to, that this was the most exciting point of her life that she was being from, and she'd been rejected by Theo.
Those last chapters where she was sneaking around and then that evening when she was having her break and running around the place were especially well written.
I have been trying to make sense of why Arthur and Mrs. Montague were even introduced because I agree that it seemed to take away from the tension building to that point. They were believers in the supernatural where the others were approaching it from more of a 'let's see what happens' so I guess that's one reason. Eager to hear other folks thoughts for why they were introduced.
it's interesting to hear from you all how much the Netflix show diverges from the book because I thought the way it was written was very much scenes in their time at Hill House.
