Customer Reviews

☹️ Got the DVD

Wanted to read the book after watching the movie, I thought I was careful but got the DVD instead. Bummed.

Read Cause I Had To: Will Read Again Cause I Liked It

Um. The title should basically say all I need to say. If you didn't get my point, then I shall say it again. I bought the book because it was a required text for an English class. I loved it, and will read it again, the next time without direction.

A 4 Leaf Clover

I have been wanting to read Inside Daisy Clover ever since I read Armistead Maupin's 'Maybe The Moon' and realised that Daisy Clover was the writer's inspiration for that wonderful story. Gavin Lambert has a way of making you believe what he writes. His character, Daisy Clover, is someone that you learn to love, despite her oversized ego and pathetic nature. I highly recommend this book and I also look forward to reading more of Lambert's books.

Hollywood Insanity From The Inside Out

Told in the form a teenager's casually kept journal, "Inside Daisy Clover" is the story of a street-wise, hard-knocks kid with plenty of common sense who unexpectly vaults to stardom in the 1950s--only to find herself so much camera-fodder for dream factory machinery. Determined to hold onto her own values, Gavin Lambert's Daisy Clover becomes one of the most memorable women in modern American fiction: witty, rebellious, and unwilling to give away an inch of personal integrity even while drowning in Hollywood's ocean of self-created myth. Easily one of the finest books and most readable novels I've read in many years, you'll want to keep this one your shelf and return to it again and again.
