Summary: Its a MUST READ!!!!!!!
Review: Just recently me and my bestfriend did a switchoff with books. She read my favorite book Jane Eyre and I read her favorite book Rebecca. Ive got to tell you its one heck of a book! Its details and twists and turns are amazing! The beginning though wasnt that interesting but the middle and end take up its slack!

Summary: Cunningly crafted and excellently written!
Review: This book is my favourite of all time! This is a mystery masterpiece. I cannot do justice to it in my own words, except to say that I really felt I was in the nameless heroine's place as she discovers new intricacies every day. 'Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again ...'

Summary: Haunting tale of love and mystery--with a surprise twist
Review: I picked this book up when I was in high school on a visit to my uncle's...and I couldn't put it down. I was captivated as I followed the uncertain steps of a young girl swept off her feet by a rich older man, then thrust into the overwhelming position of lady of the manor, a position previously held by a beautiful, confident woman that everyone seemed to adore. Everything was not as it first appeared, however, and the new bride had many shocking and horrifying surprises in store for her. "Rebecca" was a gripping tale that fascinated Alfred Hitchcock, and he chose this story to bring to the big screen. But even the Master of Suspense, in my opinion, could not do justice to this epic romance/mystery/thriller as written by Du Maurier. One of the most memorable books I have ever read.

Summary: This is one of my favorite books (and movies!) Read it!
Review: Rebecca is a truly delightful classic that I can read over and over again. I have also watched the Alfred Hitchcock interpretation of the book, in his movie entitled Rebecca. You should see it! The movie captures all of the mystery, romance, and suspense of the book. Usually movies change the story drastically or just are not as good as the book. Hitchcock does the book justice! But anyway, READ THIS BOOK because it's truly engaging and beautifully written. You will not be able to put it down! One of my all time favorite novels.

Summary: An outstanding mystery that keeps your mind intrigued
Review: What an outstanding novel this is. At the beginning we are mesmerized by the affection that Maximum de Winter and his personal secretary secretly demonstrate. Once he takes her back to his estate named Manderly, the reader does not exactly understand why Maximum acts so differently. The death of his former wife, Rebecca displays an odd behavior over the staff as well as Maximum and this perplexes the new wife as well as the reader. The unexpected twist towards the end forces you to read on. This classic is a treat for anyone who picks it up. I easily give it five stars and recomend it to both men and female.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: An assignment for my English Lit class at my highschool was to pick a classic to read. I brought home the list, and my mom told me I would LOVE Rebecca. She was right. It was hard for me to get into it at first, however, just because it was hard to understand. Anyway, I got a little furthur, and I could not put the book down. I absolutely loved it! It was developed into a very suspenseful mystery with a startling twist, and a little romance too. I could totally understand Mrs. de Winter, and I really felt for her battling in the shadow of Rebecca. I loved this book, and I am recommending it to everyone! Absolutely AWESOME!

Summary: Read the book!
Review: This was a great book. One of my very favorites. The movie was good, but the book is oh so much better! I really liked that we never get a glimpse of the beauty of Rebecca, it is left up to our imaginations, and contrasted with the second Mrs. DeWinter, we only know her by that name, nothing else. This story is sometimes light and at most times chilling. Do not cheat yourself out of a great book!

Summary: The most memorable book I have ever read
Review: I was first asked to read this book 7years ago for one of my English classes in High School. I must say it has left a lasting impression on me ever since. Rebecca was the first book that ever kept me completely entranced throughout, and never waivered in the integrity of the stories plot. It was suspenseful, romantic, and coy all at the same time. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone ,young or old, who just really wants to read a true masterpiece.

Summary: the unknown sequal
Review: Rebbeca has been on of my favorite books for a long time. I just wanted to inform other who like this book that there is a sequal, which not many know about, called Mrs de winter by susan hill. I have to say it is not as good as rebecca but for those who want to find out what eles happens to maximum and his bride it is a must read.
