OK read - Rated
This book is good and a page turner however there are a couple of chapters were i got bored and the ending wasn't really to my liking either! Also some of the things that happen in the book are hard to believe!!!
Be Warned! - Rated
I bought this book for holiday and if I had had anything else to do but read in the sun I would have binned it. The characters where drawn as cartoon stereotypes (too bad or too good) I didn't like any of the characters and the end was obvious from the beginning. First time I've read a Jackie Colllins reviewed book (or one of hers) - I won't again. The book ended up in bits in Greece!
Beavis and Butthead Only - Rated
This is such a lame book! Much has been made of how raunchy it is but it's the kind of writing a seventeen year old frat boy might contribute to a soft core internet porn site. Not in the least bit sexy or erotic. He just beats you over the head with it. A bit like a toddler who's just learned to say bum and willy. Other reviews have said the book has some witty one liners, but I scoured the thing and even including the much touted line about clitoral nerve endings, I couldn't find a decent one. In the main the author makes grindingly weak jokes like "she's living in a state called DENIAL". How old is that? Worst of all you get the feeling that Salem doesn't like women very much. They are stalked, murdered, abused and generally reviled by the male characters in the book. It's all a bit old school misogynistic. Stalking and murdering women is a bit of a theme with this author. Check out Remember September when he used to write under the name Jon Salem. I prefer my women characters to be stronger and sassier. The women in this book were all so beaten down. I know these type of books are hardly works of art - I enjoy trashy beach reads as much as anyone - but I think this book even fails on its own term. It's just not sexy, satisfying or bold enough. If you are a teenage American college boy just off to his spring break in Daytona Beach you'll probably love it! But I can't imagine anyone with half a brain cell finding it anything less than than grindingly tame.
shallow and crude - Rated
Having read the other reviews about how gripping this book was, it was disappointing to find it relied on crude language, a poorly executed plot and generally graphic sex scenes that were irrelevant and at best, unimaginative. All the characters had potential to develop but were let down by shortcuts and poor conclusions. Could have been much better written with a different ending and more care to make the characters less one dimensional.
