Rebecca

[Keenoonvino]

Is it worth reading? A classic?

Yes! I read it last week, it is a fantastic book.

Yes, definitely. One of my all time faves.

I love it I can read it over and over its my all time favourite

ooh yes , then watch the Laurence Olivier film - chilling

Brilliant book. I bought it originally as dd1 is called Rebecca. Didn't read it for ages then thought I would and loved it!

I never re-read books....think I'm going to read this one again though. I loved it!

Top of my all time favourite list! Love it and love DuMaurier's writing.

One of my favourite books. Read it countless times. Often return to it as a comfort read when I'm feeling unwell or out of sorts.

Ok you've all convinced me! It's next to read after I finish "how to be a woman" which I also chose based on these pages!

Du Maurier was a brilliant writer & story-teller. I'd also recommend Jamaica Inn - really good, and My Cousin Rachel.

Oooh, yes, definitely worth reading. Haven't read it for ages but it used to be my go-to book when I'd finished exams and didn't have to do any more revision.

Yes, it's a fabulous book, as is Jamaica Inn. Not read My Cousin Rachel yet.

Just loved it. Do read.

Another vote for Rebecca. Easy to read but still a classic. I also like her other novels, although I haven't read them all yet.

Absolutely read it. The film is very well done too. Have read Jamaica Inn and My cousin Rachel. If you like suspense then you'll like Du Maurier novels.

I started it a couple of days ago (after finishing what I thought was superb Jamaica Inn). I'm enjoying it so far

It's not exactly classic - written 1938. Crime story/suspense (not the classic "who's done it"). If you like this kind of stories - when you start Rebecca you'll read it nonstop. It really carries you away.

Movie - there are a lot of versions. Hitchcock's one (black and white) is absolute classic.

Daphne du Maurier is a fantastic author, and i really recommend that you read Rebecca, you will not regret!

Rebecca is one of my all time favourites, and once you have read that one, give The Collector by John Fowles a try. Equally chilling but in a very different way.

Frencman's creek is another great one by Du Maurier.

It may just be me but I think the proposal scene in Rebecca is wonderful. So beautifully written, it is my all time romantic piece. It makes me cry every time!

good god yes!! Utterly superb and totally underrated!

First read this as a teenager - have it read it several times since then and still enjoy it lots. Agree with other people who have said Jamaica Inn is good too.

Rebecca is great, as are Jamaica Inn, and I am SO glad I am not the only one to think of Frenchman's Creek straight away!
