Summary: Absolutely legendary
Review: I must admit, at first I really wanted to discard Rebecca but as I had to read it for school I continued it. After the first few chapters I was so intrigued that I finished it in the one day! All the way through the book I was waiting for something to happen, very much like Mr. De Winter as it just keeps you on the edge. Suspenseful, gripping, mysterious, romantic (kinda) and a classic. A story of 2 people who live in lies, mistrust and dishonesty due to Rebecca until the secrets unfold...

Summary: Rebecca as a Summer Read
Review: I was assigned this book as part of my Sophomore Summer reading list. As with all assigned books, I did not look forward to reading it. But Rebecca surprised me. The charcters were very interesting, the plot was mysterious from the beginning as to why the title is the name of a person dead from the start, and it kept me wanting to know what was next the whole time. The ending was well hidden up to the moment they reveal Rebecca's fate and even had more up the sleeve after that! I do intend to read the sequel and hope it was as good as the last. p.s. Didn't you find the 2nd Mrs.de Winter a bit paranoid? Or maybe she just had a very active imagination, what with all those scenarios she kept thinking up?

Review: This book was so well-written. I had to read it as a summer reading book for school, and I enjoyed it so much. It has a touch of mystery, and much suspense. I only wish there was a sequel to this beautiful book, I would read it immediately.

Summary: Love Found Through Murder
Review: I remember reading this book in the 8th grade for a book report and had no clue what it was about. Needless to say I made up the report. Anyways a few years later I chanced upon it again and read and it made perfect sense. Sense that time Rebecca has been one of my most read and beloved novels. In a story of a young girl raised as the companion of a shrew of a woman she finds love in the most strangest of places, Monte Carlo. Her love is for a man who is old enough to be her father. When he asks her to marry him she says yes and is wisked away to England and the magestic house known as Manderley. However, this dream romance is far from what it seems to be. She must deal with the sinister maid of her husband's deceased wife and her lack of proper breeding that makes her ignorant to the ways of Manderley. Yet behind the face of this young girl's husband is a dark secret that is waiting to be revealed. In a truly interesting tale of murder and love this suspenseful novel will leave you guessing down to the very last page.

Summary: Rebecca
Review: "Rebecca" is one of the most haunting novels I have ever read. The opening sentence alone is enough to give one the shivers: "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." The novel started as a project to see how long the author could go without naming her main character, and ends up as being a fascinating read. Maxim de Winter is a man with secrets, and his new bride, who feels Rebecca's oppressive spirit everywhere in their new home, is an honest and brave character with whom all readeres should be able to identify with. She is made of stronger stuff than any romance novel charcter I've ever read. Rebecca herself, although her voice is rarely heard and she lives on through memories of the inhabitants of Manderley is still a force to be reckoned with. Rebecca's loyal servant Mrs. Danvers (quite possibly the creepiest personal maid/housekeeper in literature) will make your skin crawl. The book has an astonishing ending and I guarantee that anyone who picks the book up will not only be unable to put it down, but when the last page is turned, will start to reread it immediately.

Summary: confusing at first, but ends up being great
Review: It took me two tries reading this book, but I'm glad I finally finished it. The first chapter made me fall asleep and so did the second. Don't quit though once it gets rolling it is actually a very good book. You could feel what emotions the main character was feeling and it seems like you are her. The ending is excellent. It leaves you wandering and wanting more. I still can't believe the ending and I finished the book acouple of days ago. Read Rebecca, it's a book for all ages.

Summary: Off to a slow start

Summary: THE REASON YOU READ FICTION
Review: A timeless place, a stifling air, a world of fascinating characters, cannot even begin to describe the world of priviledge and forboding that is so masterfully painted by Ms. Du Maurier. Her descriptive talent for painting words on a page literally breathe life into the Manderly Estate and you catch yourself walking among its misty setting within your imagination. Like a menacing fog, the claustophobic secrets of Manderly slowly reveal themselves and completely take you by surprise. The story is timeless, the issues could be ripped from today's headlines. Human emotion is ripe and in full bloom here as the suspense of human drama builds to a shattering climax. For a novel written so long ago, I was completely engrossed until the wee hours of the morning reading......Pondering......Guessing......Shocked!!

Summary: Excellent book!!
Review: I loved this book when I first read it in high school. It opened my eyes to a great author and a genre I had previously never enjoyed. I have read it 3 times and still enjoy it's depth, alive characters, and rich descriptions. It is a tad slow in the beginning but stick with it becuase it such a jewel to be treasured. See Hitchcock's film version for a different spin on the story too!
