I think I was expecting more monsters or creatures or spirits or something, but I enjoyed reading this for what it was. I think I'm most surprised at the amount of criticism Lewis seemed to me to be levelling at the Catholic church and Christianity in general; feels brave for the 1790s.

Very gloomy and emotional throughout which I'm always drawn to. ... Yeah I dunno there are the usual badly aged parts from a book this old, but overall I liked the read.

This book genuinely shocked me twice - it went to places we barely go now. Impressive that it was written by a 19 year old! I loved that it wove poetry into the narrative, and the choices of how it spelled and capitalised words gave great insight into the author's mind and proclivities.
