Rebecca

2 star.
It was disappointing. I know this is a classic, and I went into the book with moderate expectations. The setup was quite interesting, as we got to know about Rebecca (the first wife) through the eyes and ears of the 2nd wife. In the beginning, the suspense about Rebecca and the characters of the house keeps you interested enough. But slowly, you feel there is no aim for the story, and we will be going through the daily activities of the house with minimal or no plot progression for nearly 40–50% of the book. Only in the last 120–130 pages does the plot get interesting. Still, at the end of the book, there is a non-satisfying feeling.
