    " A good read with a good storyline. I just have this habit of looking for some redemptive moment when there is a main character as ugly and vile as Julius Levy, and there was none to be found for me in this book. "

    " This was a gift from my English teacher when I was 13/14. Rich in content and texture, with themes on the outsider, and on capitalism that are still relevant. An underrated Du Maurier novel. 'Something for nothing.' "

    " The third Dpahne Du Maurier book I have read as I wanted to try a more 'unknown' one. Absorbing as ever, it is amazing the characters that Daphne creates. Julius is a tortured soul, but so intriguing. Recommended. "

    " I got the twist, but not too early. Not a bad mystery at all except for wanting to punch nameless heroin for being such a helpless sooky lala throughout most of the book. "

    " I always have a hard time enjoying a book when I don't like the main character, and that was the case with this one. I did like the mystery enough to keep reading, and the story did have some genuine surprises, but I was just so frustrated with the narrator. BTW, why doesn't she have a name? "

    " Romantic suspense...just finished Jane Eyre before reading this book and couldn't help seeing so many parallels to it. Thought the book was ok but wouldn't recommend it strongly unless you really really enjoy romance with a lingering sense of dread and a slowly unfolding storyline. "

    " I adore this book. I'm not sure I'd teach it to freshmen again (especially not non-English major freshmen) because of its emphasis on language rather than plot and characterization, but I do adore it. "

    " I listened to this as an audiobook from Audible. It took me a long time to get into it - the start was quite slow - but I really enjoyed the story once they returned to Manderley. "
