This book is definitely better than Rebecca. 
 Pro: 
 - Amazing characterization 
 - Amazing prose 
 - Amazing sense of Gothic atmosphere 
 - A puzzling question about Rachel's true motive 
 - Louise turn out to be my favorite character 
 - Poison? Yes or no? 
 - A beautiful dark, love story 
 - A tale on money 
 Con: 
 - the plot can be slow 
 - Phillip can be kinda stupid despite he is nearly 25 
 - The ending (I prefer something more macabre)
