Book Reviews of Peyton Place
Book Review: A Blockbuster Novel Of It's Time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first became interested in the book after seeing the movie with the late Lana Turner. However, I must admit that I enjoyed the book much better. It really was a groundbreaker for the late 1950's and early 1960's considering that the issues of illegitimacy, rape, emotional attachment not to mention the hypocritical attitudes of the people of the town, only when a young girl is put on the stand for murdering her stepfather and the truth about the type of man he really was makes the people realize that judgement should not come so harshly to those without knowing all the facts. A novel that in many ways stood the test of time and without a doubt a gem.
