Summary: Walking through the Valley of the dolls...
Comment: One month ago, I didn't know who Jacqueline Susann was. A friend of mine advised me to read this book, and the least I can say is that I don't regret it. I have enjoyed each word, line and page of it :
447 pages of great delight to the eye, 447 pages of intense life told in a way so strong and vibrant that you can't even imagine these girls went only out of Jacqueline Susann's inspired mind. Her description of the stardom system is so striking, amazing, and above all frightening. The rise and fall of the three heroines, their fight for money, for love, betrayals...everything looks so real.
After so many ups and downs along the road, they've finally reached the top, the so-called « Mount Everest », but it had cost them so much... Jennifer falls before the end of the climb, the « shooting star » Neely suffers from too high altitude/attitude sickness and Anne, in a way, is the only "survivor" of this terrible 20 year journey...to the valley of the dolls.
Better not climb too high surely is the moral of this wonderful story which ended too fast ! One of the best books I've ever read ! ! ! Thank you so much Miss Susann for this great novel.

Summary: AMAZING...the best book that I've ever read!
Comment: VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is more addictive than the pills that its heroines take. Sure, its trashy, but trash is by far the most entertaining form of literature. The story of three women's fame and descent into a miserable state of drug use and alchohol is entertaining all the way through. You learn to get to know the characters. You also get to love them, hate them, sympathize for them...its completely spellbinding. I looked forward to picking it up every night, and each night it was practically impossible to put it down ("COME ON..stop reading! You have to go to school tomorrow!") But I got to sleep easily, because each night after I reluctantly put the book down I would fondly recall what I had read. Its just fantastic...maybe I'll read it again. If you're a fan of the movie, I reccomend it even more. Its MUCH better than the film (which I LOVE). Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, NOW!!!

Summary: One of my all-time favorite books
Comment: I have three books that are my all-time favorites, reading them over and over. They are Dunne's "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles," McCrae's "The Bark of the Dogwood," and this one, "Valley of the Dolls." The emotions that Susann draws upon so exquisitly pulled me through the ups and downs of each character. Neely, Anne, and Jennifer each have traits that anyone could relate to and seem so real that it's almost shocking that they are fictional. The trust, lust, love and betrayal keep the reader enthralled as very important underlying themes run rampant through this novel. I initially saw the movie first and was captivated. Then, years later, decided to read the book. The book is even better if you can believe that!!!
Would also recommend: "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles" and "Bark of the Dogwood."
