If you like detecive stories, I am sure you will get a lot of pleasure reading this book.The novel by up-to -date American writer Ira Levin - " Kiss before dying" - is a tremendous detective story with elements of love, pession, trust and treachery. From one hand we see the tender love of the father to his daughters and from the other hand there is a young man very handsome man, very cruel and prudent man, who destroys the whole lifes and love of poeple as if they were crystal glasses that one can throw on the floor and break when he is not satisfied with something. This novel is storngly recommended to read for a young girls that are very sensitive and can easily fall in love, because the novel is a very good representation of people''s cruelness and it teaches you never to be in trust with people you don''t know and the main thing is that it teaches you about the shortcomings of blind love. One can fall in love of course, it''s good and natural feeling but you can never throw yoursef on a person, you can never afford yourself to be blind, because you can never guess what is on the mind of a person who is near you. Maybe Dorothy, one of the main characters of the novel fall on love with him and was so blind, because she used to love and tenderness of her father who was a reach man and did everything to make his daughters the happiest in the world or maybe it all happened because money can bring you no happiness. Maybe this young man was so cruel because he used to poorness and cruelness from the very childhood...Anyway you will see the sream of thoughts that is on the mind of artful person and I''m sure if you are a young lady you will not be so trustfull to man any more.
" for one frozen instant their eyes met, stupefied terror bursting in hers, a cry rising in her throat".
  Love and be loved but never forget about yourself.
