Summary: Another page turner by Jackie Collins
Comment: Jackie Collins has done it again, with another book that can't be put down once you have started to read it. She keeps you guessing almost to the very end, who the mystery man is. After a ways into the book, I figured Lara would end up with Joey in the end, but I didn't want her to until almost the very end, when he told his side of his life, then I wanted them to be together. The ending is very suspensful, with many different storylines all going on at once, which kept me reading until late into the night to finish. When I was finally done, I was ready for another new Jackie Collins book, because I have read them all. This is definitely a must read!

Summary: not the best
Comment: this book did keep my interest, but i didnt feel the same chemistry between the two main characters as i felt in jackie's other books, i dont think that Joey is a likable character, i kept going back and forth on liking him or not. not her best but i still enjoyed reading it.

Summary: Worthwhile trash?
Comment: I've read two Collins so far. The first one, Hollywood Husbands, didn't impress. This one seemed more interesting. Maybe it's addictive. Already I can see some repetition of themes between the two books, such as the plight of the teenage daughter. But this actually makes sense, this repetition of themes, because it seems to reflect the industry itself: samo samo, very closely prescribed roles and behaviors, from the creative, kooky director (Mick) to the drugged-out actor (Aiden) to the adulterous but successful director (Richard) and so on. Hollywood hasn't changed much over the years and so trite roles seem just right. Collins obviously knows of what she writes, and that's nice for the reader, to know that there is some authenticity behind the author's words. She paces this book real well, revealing a little of the main characters' backgrounds every so often, leaving Joey and Richard until the end almost, so there's always a new surprise around the corner. The culmination of the story leaves something to be desired: a "drop off the cliff," as it were, like Ms. Collins couldn't quite figure how to end everything. She just does it all at once. There are some other implausibilities, like Richard turning his life around (from homocide) to become a famous director, having learned the craft from a Mexican director who made him watch old movies. If you could learn to direct by watching old movies.....well, it just doesn't seem plausible. Anyway, on whole, this book will hold your interest. It's not high brow literature, as another good fella pointed out on this website, but it helps to pass the time and, who knows? Maybe we can even learn a little something. Diximus.
