Review of the audiobook edition:
This Audible edition starts with an introduction and a preface (I guess) which are labelled as Chapters 1 and 2. If, like me, you prefer to skip introductions, then start with Chapter 3!

Patrice O'Neill's voice was excellent for this novel; a bit reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe in the film version but not overly so.

Anita Loos narra las hazañas de una pareja de amigas, la rubia Lorelei Lee y la morena Dorothy Shaw, dos auténticas depredadoras en el marco del puritanismo y la mojigatería de la Norteamérica de la década de 1920, cuyo más característico emblema era la Ley Seca. Ambas causan estragos por donde pasan: Lorelei conquista industriales, intelectuales, aristócratas, fiscales del distrito y hasta al mismísimo doctor «Froid», al que conoce en Viena y que le recomienda cultivar, ya que no tiene ninguna, algunas inhibiciones. Dorothy, siempre con su tendencia a enamorarse de quien no le conviene, y siempre, según su amiga, menos «refinada», será en todo caso capaz de divertir al príncipe de Gales enseñándole unas cuantas palabrotas. Los fabulosos engaños de este memorable par de pícaras se leen, en los pocos momentos en que uno puede parar de reírse, como grandiosas victorias sobre una sociedad que, realmente, no merece otra cosa que ser estafada.… (lisätietoja)

When I came across this book, I was compelled to own it; I love Folio Society editions and the movie is one of my favorites (mostly for the fashion and music). I was not disappointed but its quite different from the movie plot. The humour is clearly era-dependent and modern readers need to adapt the right mindset to enjoy this (and most reviewers obvs haven't sadly).

I'm torn between 2 and 3 stars. The voice is on point and the story humorous... if it wasn't for the age-old dumb girl trope.
