Book Reviews of Valley of the Dolls
Book Review: An Awesome Must Read for All
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for the first time in my teens. I am now 30. It is such a great book that I buy it whenever I see one for sale at a book sale. I never tire of reading it again and again. It doesn't have the most wholesome plot, but it is true to life and draws you in.Book Review: An Oldie but Goodie
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this because my original copy was worn and torn. Through the years this book and a few others have been on my I can read it again list.Jacqueline Susann had a unique type of writing style that made her characters seem lifelike and real. That's the type of books I've always been drawn to.Jacqueline may be gone, but surely not forgotten. I recommend this to new readers as well as to old fans with worn copies like mine in need of replacement. Don't forget, The Love Machine along with, Once Is Not Enough both exceptional reads.
Book Review: An all-time favorite 4 me!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. It has a very intriguing plot and isn't a difficult read. Susann's characters are so real, and I feel that her portrayal of the entertainment world is a vivid and accurate one. I keep this exceptional novel on my winner's bookshelf to be enjoyed for many years to come.Book Review: An honest-to-God classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
Jacqueline Susann wrote about life as she knew it to be, and Valley of the Dolls is a classic work. More autobiographical than some would realize, the book is truly riveting.Book Review: An inspiration...
Summary: 5 Stars
Definitely one of the greatest novels of all time. It convinces readers why a life of drugs, bad dates, deceit, treachery, lesbianism and death is preferable to staying in Lawrenceville. As a microcosm of the 1960's, it's hard to beat--especially with its "insider" knowledge on cultural tidbits such as what side to sit on at El Morocco. Try finding THAT in a sociology text.
