Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a classic thriller.

Rebecca (1938)

Daphne du Maurier

Synopsis

He did not belong to me at all, he belonged to Rebecca. . .

Everyone knows that Maxim de Winter was obsessed with his glamorous wife – and devastated by her tragic death. So when he proposes to a shy, anxious young woman after a whirlwind meeting in the South of France, no one is more surprised than the new bride herself. But when they reach Manderley, his beautiful, isolated Cornish mansion, the second Mrs de Winter begins to realise that every inch of her new home – and everyone in it – still belongs to Rebecca.

– from Waterstones

Positive Points

It really is such a fantastic read, a page turner, so well described and just makes you want to find out what happens. If you are looking for a classic book that is easy to get into then this is one that I recommend.

Negative Points

I will say a couple bits may be a bit confusing but don’t want to ruin it and tell you what.

Overall Review

I would say that this is one of the best books I have read so far this year. It is so well written, keeps you wanting to turn the page and creates so much depth to the story. It is a fantastic book and i urge you to read it.
