Book Reviews of The Turn of the Screw & In the Cage (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: Classic Ghost Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Turn of the Screw is a lot different than some of the other things that I've read by Henry James--he is said to have a pretty wide range of styles and subject matter. Some of his later novels, especially, delve into the Modernist preoccupation with interiority--what's going on in someone's mind instead of focusing on the plot/action of the story. I enjoy this aspect of Modernism, but it can be difficult to follow and many people do not like reading stream-of-consciousness.
In contrast, I would say that Turn of the Screw is the most accessible of James's work that I have read thusfar. The focus is on the plot and the story moves fairly quickly--I read the novelle in just a couple of hours. Moreover, it's a ghost story--and who doesn't love a good ghost story? I found the story riveting and entertaining.
