Rebecca

Rating:
Summary: Breath t aking
Review: I had rented the movie Rebecca and loved it so much I had to buy the book. Rebecca is one of my all time favorite books. I'll never forget how I had to do a report on the book. I was so into it, I was the only person in my class to get a hundred. Rebecca is a true classic.

Summary: Brilliant, a masterpiece
Review: A deeply moving, suspense filled romantic novel. One can really relate to what the narrator is going through, trying desperately to fill the gap Rebecca left. The unexpected turn of events left me breathless, it was so sudden, when it came towards the end. I thought the ending was a little unresolved, but I guess that adds to the mystery of the book. The novel starts with a beautiful description of Mandereley, very poetic writing, in fact, but it may bore some readers. Otherwise, a fantabulous novel by Du Maurier.

Summary: My favorite book of all time.
Review: I didn't read "Rebecca" until I saw the second half of the Hitchcock directed movie on PBS, and I became totally obsessed with knowing how it all started. I borrowed it form the library the next day and raced through the 358 pages to see the differences between the book and the movie. The book- as usual- was better than the movie. I love the book so much, I am writing about it for my research project in world lit.

Summary: oddly poetic slant to it . .
Review: the book tends to drag on at parts, and in other parts it'll rush . . like music, but unevenly . . the description in it is lush, but sometimes grows old. i don't see how it makes a great suspense novel, since it doesn't make one sit on the edge of their seat, biting their nails, dying to know what's going on, but it does make one hell of a romanticist book. has a lot to do with the heroine's emotion and philosophy. this book lets you dig deep into her psyche.

Summary: Romantic, spooky, suspense...This book has it all!
Review: If you like this book, try reading Stephen King's Bag of Bones. He refers to this story often and it's a really great read!

Summary: ONE OF THE GREATEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME!
Review: I had always heard that "Rebecca" was a wonderful piece of literature and had thought about reading it "someday." Then one day I picked it up at the bookstore and fell hopelessly in love. It was far beyond my expectations. Heartwrenchingly beautiful and elegant, I understand why it is a classic. Though it starts a bit slow it only gets better and better until the abrupt ending that makes you gasp!

Summary: Du Maurier once again used beautiful, brilliant imagry.
Review: This book caught me from the very beggining with beautifly written descriptions of the dream. I never lost interest This book was simply brilliant.

Rating:
Summary: A tale of maximum suspense !
Review: I was highly pleased with the content. The setting allowed for the stories characters to grow. Although, it has been quite sometime since I have read this book, I remember how involed I got as the plot progressed. REBECCA is a sensational book of character suspense. I really enjoyed reading REBECCA. I feel that if you have read Daphne Du Maurier's book you will want to read it again.

Summary: Creepy, tense, and frustrating... but worth it
Review: I really really liked Rebecca. I can't agree that the first half of the book was slow, because I have a really short attention span and if the first half of the book had been slow I would never have gotten to the second half of the book. I found it fascinating and involving from the beginning. And as I said before, it is creepy (almost gives the feeling of a really subtle ghost story-in a way I guess it is), tense, (because you really worry about the fate of poor Mrs. de Winter and Maxim) and frustrating (because Mrs. Danvers is so detestable and the narrator is such a wimp and lets Mrs. Danvers get the better of her over and over.) But it's readable and entertaining as well. I really reccomend it. Go for it.

Summary: A gripping book
Review: This has got to be the best book I've ever read! It keeps you gripped to the end and then has an unexpected twist. I strongly recomend it.
