imitated as harold .......

I took the first plane, to reach the place where nevada had phoned me , in that bungalow I could see a human figure must be a very slender and beautiful gil, she wore a very transparent white nightie, with laces adoring the edge.she did see me, and became motionless as I opened the door.her eyes did not resist my invasion.in a few minutes I was sure to expect nevada visiting this place.

Who is she, it was first time, and I felt a kind of vibration , which I could not resist, before it was too late, to miss the feel of holding her, i took a fast step and held her in my arms and her seductive lips and my mouth could not resist the heat anymore, well the tight embrace was enough for me to feel the time so immemorial.till nevada knocked our embrace did not ease.

The problem with Harold Robbins books is that you can't read them in public because the morality police (or your old aunt) may swoop down on you for ''reading sexually explicit literature''.

Don't let that deter you from picking this novel up. ''Never Love A Stranger'' is Robbins's first novel written in 1947 and has all the ingredients (romance, suspense and tragedy) for satisfying any fiction lover. And to top it, the book is far less explicit than his later work and this works in its favour.

The novel is the saga of racketeer Francis Kane who moves from an orphanage to tackle the mean American streets of the 1920's. Its an innocent love-hate story, not just between people but the society and environment at large. The book features some very real and likable characters..

I read this book from my grandfather's collection of fiction books during my summer holidays back in 1986, and it's been with me ever since.

Incidentally, this book was made into a movie in 1958 starring Steve McQueen and John Drew Barrymore (father of Drew Barrymore).

Ruthless world! is the sense you get after reading this book.

It is a story of a boy who is jewish and he wants to be rich man. He is an orphan on streets of New York. World shapes him into something different and very one of us and other side of the society.

This book was first published in 1948. It was the first novel by Harold Robbins. Harold Robbins was criticized for using street language in his novel but people loved this novel. Later a movie with same name was made starring Steve McQueen.

It is a complete story of a man involving all stages of his life. Writer mesmerizes the readers with his down-to-earth writing.

Young Frankie becomes a man facing tough world outside, he becomes a bookie at very young age, later he explorers the power horizons. Many a times, He is hit hard with realities of the world. He faces racism at school, orphanage and at every walk of life. Nice-to-be persons leave him one by one in life. A black family accepts him but misfortune follows him there too. Finally, Frankie tries to be very man of the world. He becomes famous and rich but in bad worlds. A parallel is drawn between his world and world outside.

Wonderful thing about this novel is its language as it is spoken and used by masses. This novel was inspired by his own life.

I became his fan after reading this novel. Then, I have read his many novels, Piranha and this one is my favorite from Harold Robbins.

This is a great work from a great writer of his time. Harold Robbins died in 1997.
