Author Comments:
A difficult list to make, since I rarely dislike a book, but this will do for now.
Have you seen the classic movie Rebecca? If so, how does it compare? I love George Sanders' part as Jack Favell--is that character as good (in the "bad" sense?!) in the book?
It's been several years since I saw the movie but I remember that it was a faithful adaptation. Most importantly, it captured the spirit of the book.
