Rebecca

I was under the misapprehension that Rebecca was a classic ghost story. It wasn't. It's a classic, but not a ghost story, at least not in a literal sense. I did enjoy it though, for the most part. The writing was good, and a little different than I'm used to with long, drawn-out sentences. I enjoyed how the narrator had no name while Rebecca's name carried so much significance. I particularly liked the second half of the book, which moves much faster than the first half. The characters were completely unlikeable, though, and hard to relate to. That led to some frustration but not so much that it lowered my rating. I liked the ending... and I read how the author ended up taking her epilogue and making it her first chapter which really works in this book. Looking forward to the movie.
