Rebecca; Daphne du Maurier

This book is brilliantly written.  It tells a real tale of all the characters in it in a masterful and surprising way.  It is incredibly easy to sympathize with the main character; even when not always agreeing with her, being able to see the situations and places in the book described through her eyes is really what makes this book good.

This is one of the times that I think I can pretty honestly say that the movie is an accurate representation of the author's "vision".  But this book is rather well-told, and I enjoyed it immensely.  I cried too.  I feel like most of the books I've read this year have made me cry.

Oh well.  Anyways, good book.  Recommended.
