Rebecca

Rating:
Summary: Interesting
Review: All in all I liked reading Rebecca. It was interesting, but not always. There were also boring passages. But I liked reading it because it's a thrilling story. Sometimes I had little problems with the different persons in the book, so I didn't really always know who was who. Otherwise I didn't find it very different to understand.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: I found the book fascinating. I very liked it to read because it isn't difficult to understand. The story is thrilling and interesting because nobody except Mrs and Mr de Winter knew that Maxim had killed Rebecca. The murder was well organised. I really liked the dog Jasper because he always did exactly what he wanted to do. But I hated Favell.

Summary: A Good Read
Review: I think that Rebecca is a very good book. It was never boring to read it, it was always so exciting because I never knew what the end would be like. In school we have also seen the film of "Rebecca" and I found it not so good as the book, because in the film the persons have sometimes had other character traits. For example Mrs. de Winters was a bit stupid, meek and weak there. But the film was good to understand some scenes of the story. I thought a lot about this book and I want to give praises to the writer, Daphne du Maurier.

Summary: Puzzling
Review: At the beginning of this book, I was very puzzled because there a lot of different characters were introduced. But if you go on reading, the rest is very interesting. Rebecca is a book you can read and understand even if you aren't an expert at reading English literature yet. A thrilling book of love and fear that I can really recommend.

Summary: Thrilling
Review: Rebecca is a thrilling story. I've read it willingly. It's not a nice story. Mrs de Winter has a lot to bear but it makes her stronger. I find that this book shows the power of love. Because without this belief in love Mrs de Winter would not have hat the strength to fight for her husband. The end of the story is hard. I thought that it would be a "Happy Ending" but that's only half the truth.

Rating:
Summary: A Thriller
Review: The beginning of the book I found quite boring. But then it became very interesting and thrilling. If you like detective stories it is a good book for you. I would read it again. Someone who does not like waiting should perhaps read something else.

Summary: Thrilling
Review: I found Rebecca was a very interesting book to read, it was very exciting and trilling. It was not very difficult to understand but it was also not too easy. I can recommend it to anyone who likes trilling stories.

Summary: Dead But Never Forgotten...
Review: A wonderful romantic story that will make any woman feel better about herself. A shy, self-conscious young girl marries a handsome and rich widower and goes to live at his mansion...great right? Wrong. She cannot escape the shadow of her new husband's seemingly perfect wife Rebecca. Everything she does seems to be wrong and not how Rebecca would have done it. The narrator overcomes her nagging wussiness to discover what really happened to Rebecca. Du Maurier creates a wonderfully suspenseful environment and uses several opportunites to shock you. This is the first novel I've read in a long time that totally shocks me with it's revalations. My only complaint is that it ends rather ubruptly, leaving you hanging. With, of course a convenient note on the back telling you not to miss the exciting conclusion in Mrs. de Winter, the follow up book. This might frustrate you if you're annoyed by 'to be continued', but it's well worth reading and could arguably stand alone. I say read it if you like suspense, surprises, and dramatic character shifts.

Rating:
Summary: A Classic
Review: The book begins with Mr. DeWinter's dream. Then flashes back to the past - her past living in Manderely married to Maxim, with the sinister Mrs. Danvers floating around. Maxim and Mrs. Danver's behaviors are strange. It goes on through many different plot twists, and the writing is excellent. The ending leaves the reader surprised, confused, yet still satisfied. Excellent book. I suggest you read it.

Summary: A little recognized classic these days
Review: I found this book in a box (a jumble) of books my Mother bought at a garage sale and had never heard of it. Several years went by before I finally picked it up. I won't go into any detail about the plot because what you don't read of it in the other reviews, you will want to discover for yourself if you will just read the first few haunting paragraphs! For by then I was in-escapably emersed in the authers web! Sufice it to say that I found myself truly wishing I had picked it up much sooner. I had had a treasure on the shelf and hadn't even known it. I only came to realize the height of celebrity the book had raised long after reading it. I still havn't seen the movie, but plan to do so soon
