Ah, this was excellent! Both because the audio version was brilliantly done, and because the story itself is just superbly written. I can't say that I ever quite fell in love with our young protagonist, because honestly she was naive as all get out most times, but I definitely fell in love with the ...
4.5This book is excellent with the mystery and amping up the reader's interest (and nerves). I highly recommend not reading spoilers for this story before starting it. That will ruin the whole effect. Rebecca had me dying to find out what was going to happen. Not knowing, kept me on edge. It ha...
I read this for the "Classic Horror" square for Halloween Bingo. Because the world needs one more Rebecca review . . . A shy young lady becomes friendly with a wealthy widower old enough to be her father. When her employer decides to pick up and relocate, Maxim de Winter proposes they marry ra...
Wow. I don't know what else to really say about this book. So many people have reviewed this book and I am sure that there are people out there that can say much more eloquently anything I want to say about how much I loved this book. I thought everything worked together very well. We have an unname...
So I finally finished Rebecca. It took a while but I got there. I have to say, the last 100 pages of the book or so were absolutely amazing. I could not put the book down. Well, I had to because my laundry was done and I had to leave the laundromat, but as soon as I got home and my laundry was put a...
Mrs. Danvers takes no shit. And I love her for it. I never once thought that when I picked this book up, I would end up loving the "villain" of the story. How can one not love a character like Mrs. Danvers though? Such mettle, such spunk. She definitely took the old adage to not get angry, g...
57. REBECCA, BY DAPHNE DU MAURIERRecommended by Laura, on Goodreads. And my friend, a couple of years ago, which might have somewhat tainted my reading. The full backstory: I had a boyfriend, a few years ago. I was 16 and desperate for validation, he was 26 and looked so grown-up and worldly, I was ...
I attribute my curiosity for isolated crumbling mansions from Rebecca. When I cross paths with an old abandoned house I have to fight the urge to stop and explore. There is something about the cracked interiors and the musty smell of old wood panels that gets my imagination running. In this book I...
This is a deceptively simple story, but it's a classic for a reason. There is so much going on here!On its face, it's the story of an insecure, inexperienced nameless(!) bride who is swept off her feet and brought to the fancy estate of her new husband, a recent widower. Once there, she finds hersel...
I don’t give five-stars often, so hopefully by me giving this top rating, you’ll understand just how much I loved it. Not to mention how much it’s affected me- I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it! I’d be surprised if anyone didn’t know the basic plot of this, but just in case, I’ll remin...
