Book Reviews of Looking for Peyton Place : A Novel
Book Review: Very enjoyable reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed reading this book, and being the first Delinsky book that I have read, I picked it up and couldnt put it down. I thought it was a sweet on the side love story mixed with the reality of small town prudeness. I will enjoy reading this book again.Book Review: not up to Delinsky's usual standards
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm with the other reviewers who did not enjoy this. As I have enjoyed many of Delinsky's other books, I expected a lot more from this. I was not really engaged in the characters or the story, and found the first person format somewhat jarring for some reason.Book Review: My first Delinsky novel
Summary: 4 Stars
Having never read Peyton Place, I didn't have the background that a lot of other people had reading this book. However, I did enjoy the book and it kept me turning the pages. It was my first Barbara Delinsky book, and although it was a little predictable, it was an easy to read and perfect for an afternoon at the beach. Book Review: a little bit different
Summary: 4 Stars
Not just a girl meets boy, they court, they fight, they fall in love story. There is a bit of mystery. There is a bit of history about the
ill-fated writer of Peyton Place, Grace Metalious. There are
family dynamics and small town dynamics. An interesting storyline about the hazards of mercury that exists today.
A wee bit slow to start, but soon finds a rythm and finishes very nicely.
The lead, Annie, is a uniquely written character. A bit of an odd-ball.
I liked her voice.
From cover to cover, I enjoyed it quite a lot.
One side note that is not about Delinsky. What is with these new format paperbacks that cost 2.00 more? They aren't easier to read than
a regular size mass market. That is two in a row that Delinsky's house has published this way. Geesh new paperbacks are expensive enough.
Book Review: Good Read
Summary: 4 Stars
Not my favorite of hers, but her writing style and her characters pull you in (Lake News is still my fav)... Still this book was a nice read with love, rivals coming together, and a town that opens it eyes. still a must read...
