5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams Die First  Best piece of work from Harold Robbins, May 11, 2004

This review is from: Dreams Die First (Hardcover)

Dreams Die First will appeal to people who like reading material that is close to reality. If you like reading fiction that doesn't have a feel of fiction in it but takes you to the era where and when the book was written, this book is for you.

I have read most of the work by Harold Robbins and I can tell you that this is the BEST. In fact the more popular " Never love a stranger" comes second.

The story is about a young man who is living on social security and then with a little help from his uncle he reaches the height of pornography publishing. He gets success, and wealth but all at a price.

Dreams Die First will definitely leave mark somewhere on your heart. I can say this, because even after reading so many novels, this one remains my favorite. This may sound like a personal view but I came across many people those who just loved this book.

Also, many people have complained about this book being substitute to a porn book, but I strongly disagree, if you have read about Harold Robbins or his work, you will know that his work anything but pornography. It's just the attention to details and the explicit way of explaining the situations.

He was a great writer and so is his work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious Trash, August 27, 2009

By 

Reginald Luxury Yacht (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dreams Die First (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is the sleaziest trash imaginable, which is why I love it so. Oh, there's plenty of sleazy trash out there but Robbins really has a knack for spinning a good yarn and making the sleaze really audacious. If you are in the mood for reading about amoral scumbags wallowing in sex, drugs and violence then this is definitely the book for you. I have read it three times and am due for another look very soon. I'm not being sarcastic. This really is the apex of garbage mass market fiction. A+

5.0 out of 5 stars Robbins at his sleazy best, March 29, 2000

This review is from: Dreams Die First (Mass Market Paperback)

Dreams Die first is one of Harold's best. From page one,itexplodes with the sleaze that made him popular. This tells the taleof a loner who rises to the top only to discover that fame has it's consequences. Robbins fans will love the perverse sex and violence...
