Writing Rebecca, or Icy Sparks?

[Mei]

[color=green]Let's start off by saying I'm in a little...eh, dilemma. You see, in Pre-AP Literature, we're doing an outside reading project, and we have three book choices. I already ruled out one that I'd rather not read, but now I'm stuck. I can't choose between the two books listed in the title.

Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier, basically a mini-soap opera.

Or

Icy Sparks, by Gwyn Hyman Rubio, a story of a little girl with Tourette(sp) Syndrom.

I'd like opinions on the books, what you did and did not like about it(exclude any spoilers), and which you recommend. Personally though, I'd prefer that you've read the book(s), just so I can really be assured of your advice.^^ Thankyou![/color]
