I realize now the controversy surrounding the book, but I still think it was amazing. James Frey does a fabulous stream of consciousness while still building characters and an outstanding story. A little over a year later, I think I've come to the point where I could actually read it again.

Original review posted here. Arthur begins his story on a Christmas Eve with his wife and stepchildren telling ghost stories around the fire. “You must know at least one ghost story, stepfather, everyone knows one...” Ah, yes, yes, indeed. All the time I had been listening to their ghoulish lurid inventions, and their howlings and groans, the one thought that had been in my mind, and the only thing I could have said was, ‘No, no, you have none of you any idea. This is all nonsense, fantasy, it is not like this. Nothing so blood-curdling and becreepered and crude--not so...so laughable. The truth is quite other, and altogether more terrible.” They had chided me with being a spoilsport, tried to encourage me to tell them the one ghost story I must surely, like any other man, have it in me to tell. And they were right. Yes, I had a story, a true story, a story of haunting and evil, fear and confusion, horror and tragedy. But it was not a story to be told for casual entertainment, around the fireside upon Christmas Eve.” Arthur proceeds to write down his tale for us to read, a tale of the haunting at Eel Marsh House and the woman in black. This book is self-described as a ghost story as Jane Austen would have written, and with its language and manner I have to say it is a fairly accurate description. Arthur, a London solicitor (that is a lawyer for those of you non-Anglophiles) is sent to attend to the paperwork of a recently deceased client, the former resident of Eel Marsh House. Now, I love the tradition of naming houses as much as the next self-respecting Green Gables fan, but “Eel Marsh” isn’t one that instills a feeling of warmth and welcome and comfort. Eel Marsh House can only be reached (or left) during low-tide, and is otherwise surrounded by water and marshlands. The townspeople seem abnormally wary of the house, and no one will consent to helping Arthur about his task, and when he mentions the mysterious woman in black with the wasted face that attended his client’s funeral, his words are met with horror. The Woman in Black was told beautifully, and I found Arthur to be quite refreshing as a narrator. He’s so logical and steadfast in his belief that ghosts cannot hurt him, and that they must be confronted or things will become worse. Like any of us would under similar circumstances, he is able to convince himself in the light of day that things were not so bad as they seemed at night, and returns to face the house. The townspeople's unwillingness to discuss the hauntings portends the ultimate tragedy of this novel, though the sad reality is it would make no difference. Not only does Susan Hill’s language transport us back in time, John Lawrence’s illustrations evoke the feeling of a novel written before the advent of television. In my opinion, the lack of use of illustrations in young adult and adult novels these days is a disappointment--author Scott Westerfeld gave an interesting interview on the topic in regards to his illustrated Leviathan series here. Certainly he would approve of The Woman in Black!

I really enjoyed this story!! I love things all "medieval", and this was a great read for me! I've never read anything about Alienor/Eleanor of Aquitaine, but by reading this book, I've become intrigued by her story & have begun searching online to find out more about her. She was a strong & determined woman, especially given the time she lived in, and I was amazed to learn that she was able to keep all of her lands both through her marriage & after her divorce. As much as I LOVE historical fiction, I had no idea what her connection to the English throne was. It was very interesting to learn that one of her son's was Richard the Lionheart! I enjoyed this so much that I can see myself reading it again!! My rating would be 4.5 stars!!

Really not sure how I feel about this book. I'm glad I managed to finish it as I have started reading it 5-6 times before. After half the book is done you actually start to get how everything works and who is everyone and how all of these men are related to Yossarian's story. Again, I'm glad I finished it, and I do get what it's point and everything, but it was one hell of a difficult book to read!! Try it on your own risk guys and remember that I, at least, don't want to kill you or anything...

I feel bad giving a Christian book anything less than 5-stars. But according to the meter, 3 stars means "I liked it." Sooo yeah. I liked it. But I wouldn't say it's up there with my favorite books of all time. But it is a refreshing reminder (it might be better to read this book in one-sitting, because I read a chapter-a-day and that might have interrupted the flow). I think it did show me how I have put the Gospel on the backburner, how everyday was not a Gospel-centered day and for that I am thankful. And it is still something I need to work on and apply practically. I do believe this discipline will yield a vast amount of sanctification and love and joy over the years and so this book probably deserves more than 3 stars. Anyways, I leave you with a quote and a verse that kinda gives you a taste/summary of this book: "The gospel should be woven throughout our praise, our petitions, and our intercession, because our approach to God the Father is only - ever and always - through God the Son and His work on the cross" (138). 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "For I delivered to you as of FIRST IMPORTANCE what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (author's emphasis)
