In the story, a practical-minded narrator meets a railway worker who has been seeing supernatural visions. The narrator doubts the man at first, but at the story’s conclusion a strange event makes him a believer.

I gotta admit here that I wasn’t a big fan of this book. Ive heard a lot of good about this book and after reading this book I gotta say that this book doesn’t live fully up to the hype I’ve heard about it. But of course I will explain everything in this review so if you are interested about my thoughts on this book then keep reading.

The storyline in this book is pretty good. Because it is interesting, enjoyable and it has the eerie vibe to it which I really liked. But I gotta admit that the storyline at times was dragging out the action way too much for my liking.

The eerie vibe I mentioned above is very rare in this book in my opinion. But when it is present its very good and I really liked it the few rare times we get the eerie vibe in this book.

The storyline in this book is pretty straightforward and there isn’t any plot twists or big reveals in the plot. During reading this book you will come across a lot of questions, some of those questions will be answered by the time you finish reading this book, but a lot of those questions wont be answered. Because the author of this book tries in a way make you as a reader answer those questions from your beliefs, opinions and thoughts. I liked this aspect of the book because it leaves a lot up to us as readers to decide how we want to answer those questions from our own beliefs, thoughts and opinions

The characters in this book are very few. The characters we do get in this book are okay for the most part but if you want me to be honest here, I wasn’t the fan of the characters we got in this book. Because I felt like there was something missing when it came to them are characters. And I had a hard time liking the characters in this book or finding them to be relatable. 

I think that a big part of that was how the characters were written in this book. The characters in this book were written in this very old timey way which really which of course is explained by the fact that this book was published in 1866. 

The writing style in this book is very old timey, but in my opinion the writing style is the best part of this book. Because the writing style plays very well with the eerie vibe the storyline tries to set because of how moody the writing style is because of the old English.

Even thou I wasnt a big fan of this book I gotta admit that I am happy that I read this book because a part of me found this book to be interesting and enjoyable.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
