To Die for Book Reviews
To Die for by Joyce Maynard Book Summary
“A seductive page-turner” about a murderously ambitious cable-news star by the New York Times–bestselling author of Labor Day (The New York Times Book Review).
Local weather reporter Suzanne Maretto craves nothing more than to transcend life at her suburban cable television news station and follow in the footsteps of her idol: Barbara Walters. When she concludes that her unglamorous husband is getting in the way of her dream of stardom, the solution seems obvious: Get rid of him. She seduces a fifteen-year-old admirer, Jimmy, and persuades him to do her dirty work. Mission accomplished, Suzanne takes to the airwaves in her new role as grieving widow, in search of a TV deal. If that means selling Jimmy down the river, she’s ready.
Maynard’s brilliant, funny, and groundbreaking novel—adapted by Gus Van Sant into the cult classic movie of the same name, starring Nicole Kidman—was first published in 1992 before the era of manufactured stardom and the phenomenon of televised murder trials as entertainment. The book still stands as a razor-sharp satire of celebrity-fixated culture and the American obsession with TV—a novel that imagined the phenomenon of reality television before its creation, with alternately bone-chilling and hilarious accuracy.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joyce Maynard including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
“A seductive page turner.” —The New York Times Book Review

To Die For. While this was an interesting and quick read, it seemed a little far-fetched to me. I have enjoyed her other books, but this is certainly not my favorite. Perhaps the movie was better!
To Die For. I was very disappointed in this book! The characters were shallow and unbelievable! The repeated use of the 4 letter word was unnecessary. I always liked other books Ms Maynard has written, but not this one!
