A Jackie Collins Flop

Always Delightful
As a Jackie Collins fan (well really her "Lucky Santangelo" series) I was truly content with this novel. As always a mixture of sacarsm, wit, and the delightful self-inflicted karma is in full force. The addition of some of the Santangelo characters only put the icing on the cake. A definite recommend.

Poor Little Rich Girl Delivers!
I was fortunate to get a copy of this book from the United Kingdom, and I am enjoying this book very much. As of writing this review, I have less than 50 pages to go of the book - but I don't need to finish the book to let customers know that this is first rate Jackie Collins.
The plot centers around 3 characters; Denver Jones, Carolyn Henderson, and Annabelle Maestro. And, there is Bobby Stanislopoulos, son of Lucky Santegelo who owns Mood, the hottest club in New York.
When Annabelle's movie star mother is found shot dead in her bedroom in Beverly Hills, all these characters find themselves thrown together. And the secrets from their past have a way of coming back to haunt them...
This book is loads of fun, and encourage customers to buy this book. It's great fun!2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

PERFECT BEACH READ!
THIS IS IT. PUT IT IN THE BEACH BAG IMMEDIATELY!. Another winner from Jackie and this one doesnt disappoint. The usual sex, drugs, money, fame but its always a new story. She keeps getting better.

A Jackie Collins Flop
I typically love JC novels. This one, not so much. It was rather disappointing. Characters were well developed but not engaging. The story line was horrible and there was little cohesiveness with the sub plots. It would have been nice to better develop the chemistry between Denver and Bobby. The sub plots were lacking and did nothing to enhance the story. Even the main story line was weak and rather predictible. The story is a huge disappointment from anouthor who usually wows with racy plots filled with suspense and intrigue. This story has none of that. Normally I put JC novels in the beach read category, this one is a leave it on the shelf. There are too many good books out there that are more deserving of your time.

Jackie Collins is Jackie Collins is Jackie Collins
I have read every Jackie Collins novel. This is EXACTLY like all the others, archetypal characters, contrived plot, taste of fame, etc. It is as predictable as all the others, but I keep on reading her books. I keep hoping that eventually there will be something really exciting, but I am always let down.
You can read the book in 5 or 6 hours, and you won't remember much after it's over, except that you read the last Jackie Collins book.1 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Must read!
This book got me to love reading again! Since starting college I have lost the drive with all of that extra-boring text book reading. This book however, has reminded me how much fun reading can be! It is well written and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. The way the book is laid out by chapter makes you never want to put it down!! Love love love! Will be buying the rest of her books :)

very 2010!
This book mentions all the latest gossip about the big Los Angeles and New York celebrities from 2010. I've never read a book before that is so current and actually mentions true and live people today. It so close to being a possibility of the truth. I was very happy with the plot and how the characters know or remember each other from a time in their past. The ending was a little flat and sort of left you guessing about the romance. More romance for Denver would have been a nice touch at the end. She deserves it. Also, there is no story line about the new mother and baby. We can always hope for a follow up. Annabelle can only wish she was worthy of the happy romantic life with the rich Santagelo.

A guilty pleasure
Jackie Collins does not disappoint you. This is her classic style - characters you loah, characters you envy and characters you root for. I always wait for the next Jackie Collins book and this one was worth the wait. She takes you in giving you chapter after chapter of mystery, racy behavior and shocks you each step of the way. Although the themes are not new the books was every bit as delicious as I thought it would be. I do wish she would have changed the title. I felt like I could not be seen in my living room or in the doctor's office reading this book. You know you have to read it---- buy it!

Hollywood tabloids
I have to admit, I don't typically read Jackie Collins. When I was in college I would buy Pat Booth novels just to read on the beach during the summer months. My "summer smut" I would jokingly say to my friends. If you're into the "dirty romance" novels, then you will enjoy this novel. I also admit that I bought this book based on the cover and title. That is something that I used to do in high school - and I was rarely disappointed in my choices. I am not disappointed with this choice either. This book is pretty much as I expected it. I downloaded the ebook with the "bonus" material. Jackie states that truth is stranger than fiction and that all her characters are based on real people and the books based on real events (altered, of course). This is not a surprising revelation. The plot of this book seems as though it came straight from the tabloids. It was an interesting enough read, but closed a little flat because it ended exactly as you expected. As for the bonus material, the only two things I found interesting was the backstory of one of the characters, Bobby, and an ex-fling, Serenity, but that could've been made part of the book and not been made an "extra", as it was so short and didn't really reveal much more than what was revealed in the novel. The other interesting thing I found was that this story could've been an extension to any one of Jackie's previous books, as they all feature Lucky Santangelo as the main character (she's a minor character in this book).
Overall, it was well written - if somewhat predictable and familiar - and entertaining. And it made me a little interested in the other "Lucky" books (if only because I'm a little freakish about reading other books in a series if I find one book interesting) to read about the other characters and their adventures.0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Name Dropping Disaster
The author tries way to hard to sound trendy and current. The characters are always decked out in white leather gucci dresses with jimmy choo heels sipping their starbucks next to the pool in Los Angeles. It really felt like I was reading a teen novel about rich snobs and "woah is me, daddy doesnt love me" story line. Don't waste your time or money unless your fifteen.
