I saw two movies and a mini-series based on this book and decided I should read the book. It's the kind of book that should be re-read, especially after reading some reviews.
Hill House is suitably creepy, ominous, and haunted in a subtle and vague way.
The main character Eleanor Vance is fascinating: sheltered, unappreciated, used to a life of quiet despair. She was waiting for something like Hill House, something she can do by herself. Her feelings are reflected in the phrase written at the beginning and end of the novel: "whatever walked there, walked alone."
