A Stone for Danny Fisher Review: One of Harold Robbins best - For those who aren't familiar with Harold Robbins let me explain something about his writing: Harold Robbins books are loosely based on real people from Hollywood, real life gangsters (Bugsy Siegel being one), famous sports figures, and one very famous multi-millionaire, Howard Hughes. All people who became famous prior to 1960. This particular book, "A Stone for Danny Fisher" is about a boxer. Not being familiar with boxers, I couldn't say who's story he took liberty with, but it is a good read. A young boy who feels the security of a loving, stable family, suddenly has the world he knew ripped from him and finds himself living in poverty in a new environment. That change takes him down another road where, by adulthood, he's made some very wrong choices which lead to the problems that occur throughout his life. He is supported by his mother, his girlfriend (whom he loves but can't, or won't, choose the path that will keep them together forever), and Ronnie, a beautiful prostitute with a kind heart with a special spot for Danny Fisher. Danny loves the women in his life, including his sister. But feels compelled to always make the wrong choices. This book, as does most of Harold Robbins books (especially the first 6 or 8) has several steamy, but not too graphic, sex scenes which make for an exciting read Review: Tour de Force of storytelling, with a strong emotional heartbeat. - “A Stone For Danny Fisher”, one of Robbins’ earlier novels, is also one of his best. It belongs to the earlier generation of books which actually has little sex in it and is more sentimental in its plotting and characterisations. As the third novel he wrote, it stamps Robbins once and for all as a masterful storyteller. The book moves along at a relentless pace, as we follow the triumphs and tragedies of Danny Fisher and his constant struggle to reclaim his lost childhood. Robbins’ prose is precise and effective, and remarkably lyrical in portraying the human condition. More so than in his later novels, the reader is taken deep inside the emotional life of key characters with the prologue and epilogue working well as book ends for the story. The ending is poignant and demonstrates just how powerful a storyteller Robbins is. Whilst he may not have the vocabulary or complex prose style of more sophisticated writers, he is highly effective in connecting with the reader and drawing him in to the lives of his characters with an intimacy and emotional depth which few writers can match. I challenge any reader to come away from “A Stone for Danny Fisher” unmoved by a novel that is both a tour de force of storytelling as well as an emotionally compelling cautionary tale. Robbins would go on to write other novels, more sparing in their pathos and explicit in their sexual escapades, but none would ever match the beating heart of this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,472,858 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,892 in Sports Fiction (Books) #1,999 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #3,863 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 742 Reviews | ## Images ![A Stone for Danny Fisher - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eTl9C1yyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of Harold Robbins best *by H***R on December 17, 2012* For those who aren't familiar with Harold Robbins let me explain something about his writing: Harold Robbins books are loosely based on real people from Hollywood, real life gangsters (Bugsy Siegel being one), famous sports figures, and one very famous multi-millionaire, Howard Hughes.

It stuck with me as a favorite and I've read it three times since. I lost my original book but recently bought another. This is one of those stories that pulls you in and makes you forget where and whence you are. A great read.
