One of my good friends recommended this book to me and then added to her recommendation by actually giving me a copy. I finally got a chance to read it on my flight home from New York and it proved to be a very fast read and an engrossing story.
Rebecca is the mysterious story of a young woman who is swept off her feet, marries quickly, and settles at the English estate of Manderly as the second wife to a wealthy landowner. Once arriving, however, she finds herself constantly questioning her place in reference to the first wife--Rebecca. Who Rebecca was, how she was viewed by the servants and the neighbors, how she was loved by Maxim himself...all of these questions begin to drive the heroine quite mad (...but not literally). How the story all turns out? Well that's what the reading is all about.
Overall I enjoyed the book. The author is very skilled at keeping the reader interested. At the moment when I started getting a little bored of the storyline, BAM! she threw a million "answers" at me and a million more questions as well. I literally read this entire book in one sitting, and I think its an entertaining enough read to recommend it.

Its kinda like Fight Club, nameless main character, mind-blowing plot twist. The movie with Laurence Olivier is one of my favorites, his wardrobe is awesome.
