Review time!

My Cousin Rachel
by Daphne Du Maurier

I was surprised by this book, what did I expect from her though Rebeca was a shocker also.

1. What was your first thought when Philip met Rachel?

I have to say that I thought she was too sweet. I guess my opinion of her was jaded by Philip and his trip to her villa. It changed though as they got to know each other and became friends.

2. What did you think of the letters that Philip kept finding hidden? Did it make you suspect her even more or think that maybe Ambrose was just really sick?

When he got the first one as he was leaving to go to Ambrose I thought for sure she was a murderer. When he found the one in the book I thought maybe it was a tumor making him delusional. The one in the jacket had me right back to believing
she killed him.

3. How did you feel after hearing of Philips plan with the estate?

I was honestly sick. I thought there is no way he will go through with it. Something damaging will come up first and he will know the truth. I read the last of the book with sadness, I just knew she was going to take everything and bleed the estate dry. He was totally sucked in and it seemed like he was going to be left behind with nothing.

4. What did you think when he was suddenly taken ill?

I suspected he was being poisoned from the beginning. I thought that it was just to suspicious. She would take everything of value and leave the country. I was so happy when he found the seeds.

5. Do you think he should feel guilty for not warning Rachel about the bridge?

I don't. She killed Ambrose and was trying to kill Philip. She was planning on taking every cent from the estate and had planned it from the beginning. I guess it was a fitting end to a sad tell of lies and deceit.

My Cousin Rachel

I am working on it! I have been so pressed for time. Almost finished though so stay tuned!

New Idea!

I just had a friend drop by with the cutest purse EVER! It is a hardcover book she turned into a purse! I know we are not a crafting organization, but I couldn't help sharing the idea with such lovely ladies who love to read. I googled a few links and thought this one was just right. It may not be right for you but maybe for another book lover's Christmas present. It's never to early to start getting ideas.

I have choosen The Princess and the Hound by Mette Ivie Harrison. I saw this in Barnes and Noble and it looked interesting. I looked it up just now on Amazon and there is a review by Orson Scott Card, apparently, THE Orson Scott Card. Now I am really excited about this book.
