Customer Reviews of A Kiss Before Dying

A Lost Masterpiece of a Mystery!
This book was one of the most intreguing and memorable books I ever read. When Steven King lamented that "A Kiss Before Dying" was not read much these days, he was right to the mark. Don't miss this great murder mystery. A villan you'll hate in an irresistible story. <

>"Stephen King once commented about author Ira Levin: 'Every novel he has ever written has been a marvel of plotting. He is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel; he makes what the rest of us do look like those five-dollar watches you can buy in the discount drug stores.' He went on to lament that Levin's most effective book (and his first!), 'A Kiss before Dying,' is not much read these days."

Dark suspense
Ira Levin always goes to the dark heart of the human beast--and in this, his first novel, he certainly shows an understanding of his species. A twisting plot, a splash of unwholesome romance, a cunning antagonist/protagonist...it all works. <

Great book!!
The author sure knows how to keep things exiting! He always ends the chapter with a thrilling moment, which made me want to go on reading. I almost couldn't put the book aside, I utilized every spare hour. Her style of writing pleased me very well, it never drops off. I experienced this book as a form of acting, in writing. The characters in the story are individually exposed from the inside, in a seamless performance from one perspective to the other. Perhaps this is the secret of this books' vividness. I detected only one small thing where I was beginning to feel bored about; In the part called "Marion", we caught sight of the inside of the factory of Mr. Kingship, by looking through Buds' eyes. But in my view he was endlessly persuading about it, I got tired of it. All in all I'm very glad I've read this book. The film wasn't as good as the book itself.
