I rated 2 stars on Goodreads. It's actually a tie between 2 and 3 stars. But given that in the end, I really didn't know just what was going on... so I decided on a 2 stars.

I enjoyed the book as I read it. It did give me the chills in many parts. I was just pretty let down by the actual inconclusive ending of the book... so what did happen? and to the listeners of the "story", what did they think of it? Their chit-chats after the "story" ends? Who is the story teller? What happened to the governess?

But really, the thing that is irking me the most is... the why and the how. Why and how did that happen? The ending is just too mysterious!
