This is the first Wilkie Collins book that I had ever read and it sucked me in. I watched the mini-series on Masterpiece and was hooked from there..and the book was even more mysterious. I have read it a couple of times since and this is a book I keep in my own library (very few books see that privi...
5 second review: This is an excellently spooky story to read around Haloween. It may be coincidence, but I see echoes of this novel in Dumaurier's Rebecca, one of my all-time faves.
A man is walking home one night. He feels a tap on his shoulder. It's a woman dressed in white. She asks for help in getting far away.

When I saw that the recording of The Woman in White ran for more than 32 hours, I almost gave it up again. I am SO glad I didn't, because it's a fascinating and terrific book. The readers from Librivox did a great job, and having a different reader for each "author" of the transcript gave a really g...
Not quite as good as The Moonstone, but a very close second for me. The characterization (particularly the intelligent and resourceful Marian) helps set this apart from just being another sensational Victorian novel. Also, the unique epistolary narrative style (uncommon at the time, but much copie...
