Rebecca - do you prefer the book or film? email this discussion to a friend?

I first remember watching the film years and years ago one Sunday afternoon when I was about 13. Normally I'd turn my nose up at black and white films but Rebecca really caught and held my attention. It wasn't until about a year ago that I got round to reading the book. I found it a really enjoyable read though a little of the mystery and suspense was gone as I had seen the film, though it wasn't all ruined as I only really remembered the general gist of it.

Overall, I think I enjoyed the book more than the film as you get into the thoughts of the new Mrs DeWinter a lot more, though I think I'd rather watch the film again than re-read the book.

Which do you prefer?

I think reading the book is always better than the film though in this case it is a beautifully made film/ I have lost count how many times I have read this book and seen the film. "Last night I dreamt that I was back at Manderlay" _ the only first line of any book I can quote lol. If you enjoyed this I can recommend "My cousin Rachel" by same author. Rainy day reading if ever there was.

I agree with Overthere - the book is better. If you see a movie and read the book after, that's different.
I feel that when you read a book, you have a movie going on in your head at the same time, and a movie director's movie won't measure up to your movie. Except, I love the Lord of the Rings movies - reading the book is a long read, and the movies capture the blood & guts so well!
The fact that Vigo Mortensen is drop dead gorgeous helps too!

I was reading LoTR when I heard it was going to made into films and stopped straight away as it is such a detailed book I know I'd pick the film apart with 'this bit's different' and 'they missed out that'. Plus I had the benefit of Mr Mortensen in my little head when I went back to reading it, lol.

I love to read the book before watch the film. For example, when I read Ayat-Ayat Cinta it's more excited than watch the movie.
