Book Reviews of Rebecca

This is one of those books that the story line stays with you forever, maybe not every word, but it makes an impression that lasts.
It takes place on the Cornish coast telling the story of a young bride who doesn't know her groom very well and then the mysteries begin to appear.

Rebecca is a psychological thriller without sloppy love scenes and no bloody crimes, but the drama is superb. Also a must is the 1940 Alfred Hitchcock movie of the same name, starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, and Judith Anderson as the housekeeper.

Fascinating read!
For the time it was concidered quite dark. A very beautiful story well worth the effort to read!

Chilling, haunting book.

My all time favorite classic. I have read this book over and over and love it every time!

Very enjoyable romantic intrigue, beautifully written, couldn't put it down.

I loved this book so much that I have now put it into my English I Pre-AP reading list. You could not go wrong with this wonderful classic.

The book pictured is newer than the one I have. fair condition. With a husband she barely knew, the young birde arrived at the immese estate only to be inexorable drawn into the life of the first Mrs. de Winter, the beautiful Rebecca dead but never forgotten.

For the second Mrs. de Winter, the new mistress of Manderley,her husband's great country house was a labyrinth of terror. Wherever she went, whatever she did, the innocent young bride was stalked by the ominous presence of Manderley's first mistress--Rebecca.

A classic--great read!

a classic.

This is another eternal classic by DuMaurier. I first read it
when I was twelve and make it a must read every few years.
I never tire of this one or the follow-up "Mrs. DeWinter".

I wasn't sure what to expect and the story kept surprising me as it was unveiled. And what an ending! I never saw that coming! It had more mystery than romance.

Classic book!
