A review by booksajillian
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

3.0

I made a note about half way through this book stating I was bored and was looking forward to being done with the book so that I could move on to something more entertaining. A few chapters later I was completely enthralled and ended up finishing the book that day.

I think the writing is beautiful, but I can only take so much before I start to wonder if there is even a plot to the book. Personally, I think there are entire chapters filled with daydreams and everyday monotony that could have been consolidated or left out entirely.

The second half of the book was more entertaining and I enjoyed the Afterword that talked about the author's personal life and how it reflected in this book.
