Review:

I was enchanted for the first 30 pages but then it just went on and on.

An influential novel, an important novel. A tiresome novel.

Rebecca, or, Proust-writes-a-thriller. There was no need for this to be 428 pages. Even if you just cut out every description of scones you could trim a hundred pages.

The first line can’t be beat, and I’m glad I read this finally. But I’m glad to be finished.

This book made me want to: bail and read another book
