Reading through the pages of a book that disappears and reappears at will, that matches Laura’s life in so many ways, makes her yearn for the unattainable. Can love be found between the pages of a book?

The setting was aptly spooky and the author did a great job creating suspense. (0 more)
I didn't feel much for Elsie and I found the ending a little disappointing, although I didn't predict the twist. (0 more)
Readable but with a disappointing ending
This was an easy book to read and at points I really enjoyed the setting and suspense. It achieved its aim of being suitably spooky. Unfortunately I didn't feel enough of a connection with the main character, or any of the characters for that matter, to find this book really enjoyable.
I found the ending slightly disappointing.

The rare occasion that Gaiman totally missed the mark for me. Basically one long run on joke about all the tropes found in every Gothic tale ever told, this is the weakest of Dark Horse's Gaiman adaptations. I haven't read the original story this was adapted from, so I'm not sure if this is worse/better or if it's Gaiman's story or Oakley's adaptation, but I quickly found myself skimming thru just to get to the end, and when you're reading something only 48 pages long and you start skimming when you're only half way thru...

Slapstick characters (0 more)
This was a first for me to read a crime genre novel.
I found it interesting, if a little out there.
Without giving it away, I found place names a little difficult to get my head around and although the accents portrayed were maybe needed to give more of a feel for the location and characters, it made reading a little difficult.
I'm not sure I fully warmed to the characters and felt they were a little clumsy and slapstick.
But that is just my opinion, I'm sure many love these quirks.
Still an entertaining read.

Watched it again last night as had not seen it for a while, still enjoyed it. I have questions though - when the rest of the crew woke up 88 years later, yes they found a changed ship but were there descendants of the main characters on the ship or would they have found two decomposed bodies (sorry about that). Sometimes it is good to watch a film where there are only a couple of people in it because you can then get to know them whereas if you watch a fully cast film some of the characters get lost.
