I’m one of those dumb readers who can’t tell you the symbolism of items in literature, why Rebecca is synonymous with red (I read that somewhere), that  "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again" is an "iambic hexameter," etc.  I just know what I like and this book dragged like crazy.  I have an English Lit friend who recommended it after I saw the movie.  Wow, was this book slow.  I don’t like big paragraphs (that’s childish, I know), rambling thoughts and I had to stop myself several times from wishing somebody would just choke the second Ms. De Winter, if not the author.  About 60% into the book, the action finally starts and we started getting somewhere, as they say.  Can’t see myself reading another of this author’s books.
