Download Rebecca Audiobook

" Daphne Du Maurier does a wonderful job in developing this novel. In fact, unless I missed it, she never tells us the name of the protagonist in this novel even though it is told in the first person narrative. It was so good and suspenseful that Alfred Hitchcock made a movie about the book. I highly recommend. "

" What a wonderful book! And what a wonderful narrator!..Thank u very much! "

" Rebecca is one of my favourite books of all time. It's possible I've read it 100 times, and I'm still not tired of it. I like everything about it - the romance that transcends social mores, the mysterious, worldly suitor who recognizes his mate in an ordinary working girl, the perspective of the shy young ingenue catapulted into a world of prestige, her piercing descriptions of her self-conscious struggles, the portraits of the imperious servants and the annoyingly jocular, ponsy relatives, the lavish, metaphorical descriptions of the house and gardens and forest and sea-scape and food at Manderley (the estate she finds herself mistress of), and the noir element of a creepy mystery she must solve to survive. It's a brilliant book but easy reading and I highly recommend it for a Saturday afternoon read in front of the fire when the blustery fall wind is blowing outside. "

" I confess. I'm a Rebecca addict. I've probably read it a minimum of once a year for 39 years and watched the movie every time I can find it. The characters are fascinating, especially the evil Mrs Danvers and the cooly aloof Maxim. The rich description of Manderley has always filled me with a desire to find it in real life, walk the halls and smell the lilacs in the gardens. What can I say - if you are a Bronte fan or a fan or gothic novels, you must read this book at least once. "

" An amazing book with tons of thrilling mystery,romance and horror, it will keep you turning the pages! "

" Good suspense, a little turgid at times, but beautifully written and descriptive. "

" one of the few books assigned in high school that I loved- reading it wasn't a chore at all. Wonderful suspense! Way better than horror. "

" Truthfully it wasn't ,my favorite book when I began it, however, I did begin to enjoy it later on when I began to understand the actual point of the book. I would not recommend this for a person with a lower reading level. However, if a person has a reading level of tenth grade or higher, I think that they will enjoy this book. Just don't give up on it, because if you read it all the way through the end hits you like a ton of bricks. "

" A horror story of social awkwardness. Beloved by me, not for narcissistic reasons. "

" Spooky from the first page. Manderley draws you in and keeps you there. A great rainy night read. "

" It's my favourite by Daphne du Maurier. "

" It's a more ominous Downton Abbey. "

" Probably the most odd love story I have ever read. Compelling but frustrating read. "

" Everyone that I know who has read this book raved about it. It kept me reading only to figure out how it was going to end up. Mrs. Danver's sure got the last word in...LOL. "

" I have read this book twice. Once in high school and once as an adult. It is a wonderful piece of literture. "

" Maybe a perfect book? Mrs. Danvers was such a closet case. "

" Loved, loved, loved this story! It was such a fun, melodramatic read. The mystery! The plot twists! Also, it made me really excited that the season 3 premiere of Downtown Abby is almost here. It was easy to draw parallels between the two works. Can't wait to discuss it at book club. "

" Couldn't put it down, an excellent read "

" "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again". Classic opening line for a classic book. "

" One of the best books I have ever read! "

" Absolutely fantastic! So dark and macabre and told so exquisitely. A compelling narrative and a brilliant twist. Can't recommend enough "

" This is one of my favorite books--the atmosphere is palpable, and the new Mrs. DeWinter is such a sympathetic character. She is one I will always remember. "

" I've read this three times, starting at 15. it has held up and still one of the best novels I've ever read. "

" I don't know what else to say other then that I really enjoyed it. Rebecca was so oppressive she became a character in her own right. "

" All the characters keep me guessing of what is going to happen next and what secrets are being kept. If you have read don't tell me the ending I am still reading it! "

" a very good book, not a romantic like you would think. its about murder and mystery. it my be a challenge book but next to Frankenstein its one of my favorites yet. i recommend it to anyone with a want to read. Its a great book, glad i read it. "

" I got the twist, but not too early. Not a bad mystery at all except for wanting to punch nameless heroin for being such a helpless sooky lala throughout most of the book. "

" I always have a hard time enjoying a book when I don't like the main character, and that was the case with this one. I did like the mystery enough to keep reading, and the story did have some genuine surprises, but I was just so frustrated with the narrator. BTW, why doesn't she have a name? "

" I adore this book. I'm not sure I'd teach it to freshmen again (especially not non-English major freshmen) because of its emphasis on language rather than plot and characterization, but I do adore it. "

" Romantic suspense...just finished Jane Eyre before reading this book and couldn't help seeing so many parallels to it. Thought the book was ok but wouldn't recommend it strongly unless you really really enjoy romance with a lingering sense of dread and a slowly unfolding storyline. "

" One of my most favorite books - EVER! "

" I almost died reading this book, pure agony. This is not a classic that should be considered a classic. Pure dullness, it took me forever to finish it. :/ "

" Mmmm lots of buttered crumpets! "

" The sense of supernatural paranoia is so evocative as to be almost frightening. Nearly everyone who has loved understands the mysterious hold the dreaded Ex can have over us.

The ending is something else.... "

" Thank you Mrs. Echevarria freshman English @ Fontbonne Academy for having us read this. AWESOME! "

" I listened to this as an audiobook from Audible. It took me a long time to get into it - the start was quite slow - but I really enjoyed the story once they returned to Manderley. "

" I loved this book in 9th/10th grade, and used the opening scene as a monologue for a speech competition. "
