A Kiss Before Dying Audiobook

" Very enjoyable page turner playing on the readers in ability to see the characters. "

" Well now I have to read 'Rosemary's Baby.' "

" One of the best thrillers I have read. "

" Great book, especially if you like your college boys totally nuts and 1950's Americana. "

" Really enjoyed this book. ALthough it was written in the 1950's, its twisting murder tale holds up. But what else would you expect from the author of Rosemary's Baby!? "

" This book was awesome!! I can't believe it was written in 1951 and Ira Levin was so young when he wrote it. What a story, what a roller coaster ride. It was so full of surprises, twists that I never saw coming at all. Spell binding from start to finish. "

" His writing is style is what attracted me to reading this little book of Ira. Crime with interesting twists in the plot - very real characters created with a somewhat interesting view of women and their attraction to a man. I mean what is the possibility of three sisters falling for the same man and all he wanted was money... "

" This was interesting in an historical way,but not particularly good.The movie was much better. Ira went on to write some pretty great things,but this was not it. "

" I'm glad that there are some twists, which I didn't expect, in "Ellen." "

" Really good read, not really a murder mystery as you know who the murderer is fairly early on, but a good thriller. "

" Enjoyable read....plenty of reading time with airport delays! "

" Awesome book -- couldn't put it down...highly recommended! "

" Interesting mystery/suspense novel. "

" A silky smooth writer with a perfect sense of structure. I haven't read a bad book by him; and for a first novel (written in his early twenties), this is an amazing and confident piece of work. Anyone who likes murder mysteries should pick it up. "

" One of those books that doesn't stand the test of time... it just read very old-fashioned even though it took place only a few decades ago. "

" Loved the story's concept, but very dated and old fashioned. Perfect story for a contemporary update. "

" A fast paced noirish thriller that crackled along with a heart stopping cold elegance. Only 99p on kindle, too! "

" A classic of the pulp genre. Fast-paced, smartly written, gripping, with a couple of ingenious twists. "

" This one is the best crime novel I've ever read (apart from "And Then There Were None"). What a thriller! Smooth language, amazingly twisted story, interesting characters, oh and the end! What an ending! Ira Levin, you really are a king of the suspense novel. You absolutely have to read this. "

" Even though the "end of story" is at the beginning, it is still a spellbinding novel. Well written! "

" A very well written, classic horror/thriller. Can't understand why it's never been made into a film. "

" In my opinion, A Kiss Before Dying is one of the best mystery/suspense novels ever written. Ira Levin never lets up with the suspense, and keeps adding more twists and turns to surprise the reader. AKBD is exquisitely written and plotted, and never predictable. "

" I like this book because of the way it was written. It's so much better than the movie and it shows that with writing you can do things you'll be unable to do in film or at least it's very hard. "

" A cracking thriller with a tight, twisting plot. This reissue of Ira Levin's 1954 debut is an object lesson in how to write a tense and pacy crime/mystery novel, but more importantly it's an immensely enjoyable read. Highly recommended. "

" Kept me hooked the enitre time :) "

" Although a bit predictable, with some pretty heavy-handed symbolism, this book was an enjoyable, tightly-plotted, fast-paced read. "

" I'm not normally into suspense novels and I picked this up by accident from the school library. So glad I did because I couldn't put it down! The book was so exciting and fast paced. I could hear my heart beating loudly and I was full of adrenalin. I don't think I've read anything quite like it. "

" I read this book in a matter of days. How can I have reached this point in my life without discovering Ira Levin before now? A work of art - keeps you guessing, smiling, wondering and dreading the second the book ends. As the introduction neatly sums up - worst. boyfriend. ever. "

" pretty good book not the best I've read. "
