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 Dolls136 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 ...

Dedication55 reviews
Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin

Brilliance Audio on CD Unabridged, 2007

No real payoff

Great Ideas

+ Gutsy readers only--this is not for the faint-hearted

Well, I didn't this book was that funny and written so smartly, a lot of jokes not only sexual jokes, but those about death are awesome... this is a great book for people who likes jokes and are not afraid of laughing at death, addictions and oder human abilities....
