I will answer question 1
There are many different things that I loved about Rebecca. One thing was the romance. I adore books with romance in them and I kind of wished it had a little more, but it was still there so that's all that really counts. I also loved the way Daphne Du Maurier described things. She made the book so much more personable and easy to relate to which I always enjoy. A third thing i liked was how incredibley unpredictable it was. Every thing i tried to come up with as a guess to what would happen next was wrong. A predictable book is never any fun, so I'm glad she wrote it the way she did ☺
