“The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” By Washington Irving Review

Ichabod Crane, a schoolteacher, came to Tarry Town in the glen of Sleepy Hollow to ply his trade in educating young minds. He was a gullible and excitable fellow, often so terrified by locals’ stories of ghosts that he would hurry through the woods on his way home, singing to keep from hysterics. Until late one night, he finds that maybe they’re not just stories. What is that dark, menacing figure riding behind him on a horse? And what does it have in its hands? And why wasn’t schoolteacher Crane ever seen in Sleepy Hollow again?

This book is very disappointing for me, because I really really wanted to love this book, but wow where should I begin on why I didn’t love it.

Its important to say that before I started reading this book I didn’t know anything about the Sleepy Hollow town nor the legend of Headless Horseman. 

The beginning of this book was very good because it had a huge gothic vibe to it, but the further and further you got into this book the less fun this book was becoming and it was turning into boring. at the same time the further you got into this book the less thing were happening.

When it comes to the characters in this book then I have to say that they weren’t the best, I was expecting much better characters than what we actually got in this book. 

The characters in this book were flat, there where times were the actually were good, but those moments were rare. And for the most part the characters in this book were uninteresting and boring.

This book had a good and unique premise, but the way it was given to us really was very bad. 

I Give This Book 2 / 5
