To me it seems that the Masterpiece guy is probably a little more accurate but Laurence is an icon. You can't go wrong with him.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585721638280496666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-53032015479279628982010-03-22T01:22:08.530-06:002010-03-22T01:22:08.530-06:00Ooh, I liked this book.

She spent the whole book being fearful that he didn't really love her. <br /><br />Yes, Miss Danvers was very creepy, and I didn't like that man that was her brother or cousin? I can't remember their relation.<br /><br />Yeah, it was a little off-putting that Maxim got away with his crime. However, at least miss no-name got her happiness in the end.Haiku Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935235354427184103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-29586741697557380772010-03-21T14:23:38.533-06:002010-03-21T14:23:38.533-06:00Laurence is a better Max.

Since I have never been a part of a face-to-face book club, it is nice to hear how everyone voices their own opinions.<br /><br />I read Rebecca last year and just loved it.

What really got me was the way we as readers were made to excuse Maxim of his behavior. The man was a murderer! <br /><br />That's good writing.<br /><br />It's interesting how the Hollywood version makes Rebecca's death an accident.Caroline Starr Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597510685273079757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5566869117228903343.post-55940074670319552672010-03-19T16:44:55.539-06:002010-03-19T16:44:55.539-06:00I had a great time at the meeting last night.

I love Rebecca, but I really enjoyed hearing about the things that bugged people.
