Description
Valley of the Dolls took the world by storm when it was first published, fifty years ago. Never had a book been so frank about sex, drugs and show business. It is often sited as the bestselling novel of all time.
Dolls - red or black; capsules or tablets; washed down with vodka or swallowed straight. For Anne, Neely and Jennifer, it doesn't matter, as long as the pill bottle is within easy reach. These three beautiful women become best friends when they are young and in New York, struggling to make their names in the entertainment industry. Only when they reach the peak of their careers do they find there's nowhere left to go but down - to the Valley of the Dolls.

I have been through this book six times now. It really is the only book I have ever read that often. I guess it's rather girly and not for everybody, but it's the most entertaining book there is! The story of three women coming to New York to start a new life and find their true selves has so much glamour and drama. And at the same time we get to see the dark side of it all. The way showbusiness and the "high-society" is depicted sucks you right into the story and I for myself regularly find myself wishing I could have been there with Anne, Neely and Jennifer. I laughed, I cried, I was even a bit shocked. Buy it! Read it! And read it again!
