## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Superb Collection
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017*

Before purchasing this, I owned the Modern Library edition, "The Poetry and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker." Having laid hands on this Viking Portable, I sold off the other and now prize this. Though it comes in softcovers, there's a more bountiful selection of Parker from a broader range of her works, especially among the best of her "Constant Reader" reviews for "The New Yorker." If you love Parker, you're sure to appreciate this collection. If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting her, I know of no better introduction.

    Unexpected
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014*

I picked up this book because I have been reading other books that have quoted her.  These quotes are often very funny.  "This book should not be put down lightly," she said.  "It should be thrown against the wall."  Add to this that she was a member of that famous or infamous roundtable at the Algonquin, and I thought her stories and reviews would be a riot.  I was surprised that in the cover portrait of her she seemed so sad.  When I began to read some of the poems and stories, it was obvious that the cover photograph was appropriate.  I now see her as a terribly lonely person who thought about death too much.  Her acerbic wit seems to be camouflage.  The fact that I was surprised by what I found in this collection of her writing doesn't mean that I thought it was bad.  Because Dorothy Parker was different from what I expected, doesn't mean she was worse than I expected--just different.

    Good Enough to Replace
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021*

I actually owned this book for a VERY long time but sadly lost it in a fire. I was overjoyed to find it here because (1) I missed it (2) I would like my daughter to read it.So this book is one that I kept all thru college, multiple moves over several states and when I lost it in a fire, I replaced it. I think that says a lot about this book.
