Best travelling companion
I read this some 20-odd years ago and ended up buying the audio version to accompany me on a long train journey. Not only was I locked away in my own private little world I can honestly say I think I got more enjoyment out of it being read to me than reading it! Funnily enough I was travelling to Cornwall were the book is set!

Disappointingly Short
What disappointed you about Rebecca?
When I purchased this I didn't realise it was a shortened version. Had I realised I wouldn't have bought it. It was very heavily edited. You might as well watch the Hitchcock version of the film.
Would you recommend Rebecca to your friends? Why or why not?
I like Emilia Fox's narration of Mrs De Winter, but that's all. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can't be bothered with the full story.
What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I saw her in play the character in the TV version and I think she was well cast. She comes across well as Mrs De Winter in this version and also doesn't overplay the other characters.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Rebecca?
I wouldn't cut anything from this version. It's already too heavily cut.

Brilliant narration - perfect for this book
Emilia Fox was an inspired choice to narrate this version of Rebecca. I must have read this book many times and seen various TV versions - but listening to this was every bit as gripping as encountering it for the first time. I'm always amazed how brief the novel is when you consider how powerful it is - Daphne du Maurier doesn't spend a lot of time on descriptions of secondary characters, but with Emilia Fox's narration it is completely compelling and you are one hundred percent inside the head of the second Mrs De Winter.

Abridged
It is my favourite book, I was unpleasantly surprised by how substantially abridged this version is. All the best parts that make Rebecca the masterpiece that it is have been omitted. Pity as both the plot and narration are great.

good
Great story - well-balanced and well-told. However, it's very much of it's time regarding the motivations of the characters.
