One of the Best I have read.
This is one of those books you read and it will linger inside your mind. The book is really wonderful - a perfect psychological thriller. I actually 'hear' my heartbeat while reading the last few chapters.
One thing which I found so different about this book is that the name of the narrator (or protagonist) is never revealed. Anywhere in this book. She is always referred to as 'Mrs. de Winter' or 'my wife'.

Just okay
The book is extremely the slow in like the first 70 pages then finally the story moves ahead. It's a little in the beginning which really makes it unreadable for quite some people but finally everything falls in its place. There is a big plot twist in the later half as always. It's a descent read. But not my most favorite. I like and loathe the book at the same time. But if you're reading this for gothic literature you might add this to your list. But To be very...
