I started reading this as part of my new goal to read at least one classic a month. I loved it. For a Victorian, Gothic kind of novel there was also humor to go along with the mystery. While fairly predictable as far as plot, the characters were delightful to read and there were just enough surprises to keep the book moving along. Well worth the read.

Why have I not known about Wilkie Collins before now?!?!?! Woman in White is such a delightful, complex mystery story. Lots of twists and turns in the story. While some of it became predictable, I was still totally engaged throughout the story! And of course, Collins turns out to be a close friend of my all-time favorite author, Charles Dickens. Of course he was! Both had great characters and winding plots. I will be reading lots more of Collins' writing! ...more

Well, I got two copies of "The Woman in White" today. One for me and one for my wife. They are two different editions though. They were the only copies available at the Half Price Book store I went too. I hope this is going to be a good one. ...more
