Lolita (BFI Film Classics) 2 reviews Richard Corliss
British Film Institute, 1994
Corliss tackles the big boys, Nabokov + Kubrick. The winner?
Stanley Kubrick's 1962 'Lolita' is unusual among the 360 films chosen by the British Film Institute as Classics in that it is not really a 'classic' at all, if we mean by that term a flawless work of art that transcends its time and culture, and is open to new readings from succeeding generations. ...

Valley of the Dolls 136 reviews Jacqueline Susann
Grove Press, 1997
Rambling, operatic and much more than "Chick Lit"
+ A Glamorous Classic of Feminist Proportions + An absolute classic!
On the back of the book, there is a quote by a reviewer who spouts that most tired of cliches "I literally couldn't put it down" or something liked that. For once, I'd have to agree wholeheartedly - 450 pages and never a dull moment. The prose is lively, sensitive and articulate. The story itself ...

Dedication 55 reviews Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin
Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2007
No real payoff
Like all the others have written - the back and forth with past (80s) and present (2005) from chapter to chapter is definitely not a huge success. Too often, you have to read many chapters ahead to understand comments/incidents from previous chapters. It becomes a page turner because you want to ...
