Summary: Enjoyable Easy Read
Review: I read a lot of Jackie Collins' books. The thing I like about her books is they are easy reads, entertaining about Hollywood and right to the point. I recommend this book. I had it read quickly and was entertained to the end.

Summary: I LIKED IT!!
Review: I thought this books is pretty good. Since it was written to be 4 separate books what i didnt like was that in the beggining of everybooks she would talk about the one that i just finished. Overall her characters were well illustrated in my mind by the way that jackie collins had intended.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been better.
Review: L.A. CONNECTIONS is actually 4 separate books combined into one paperback. Each segment reads as a separate book, as they were originally published as a 4-part serial.

The main story line throughout all 4 segments is a series of murders that affects in some way all the main characters. There is Kristin, the expensive call-girl who is trying to support her sister who is in a coma; there is Sally, the big chested super star who is really a down-to-earth simple gal who happened to become a celebrity; there is Madison, the journalist, who accidentally meets Sally and finds herself involved in the coverage of a murder; and a host of other fascinating characters, all bigger than life. And in between the murders there is plenty of sex, violence, and other trash that keeps the pace moving.

What I like about Jackie Collins books are the characters. They are never dull and are always living on the edge, no matter what their profession. L.A. CONNECTIONS was no exception. The problem with this book was that it read like 4 separate books, when i had been expecting one. It also seemed to have an abrupt ending as if Ms Collins wanted to get this book over with. This is not to say I didnt enjoy the book. I did, and it was fast reading from start to finish. But I think this book could have been better, if the ending was done right, and the 4 separate novels (Power,Obsession, Murder,and Revenge) were re-written to be published properly as a single book.

Summary: SUPERB!!
Review: These were the first ever Jackie Collins books i ever read and I was hooked within the first chapter of "Power". I had to read them in installments as they were released as individual books over here in the UK. I had never beeen interested in so called "love stories" as I thought Collins wrote but the murders, sex and sleaze kept me well hooked. I love the way each book ends with a cliff hanger, likle the un-named dead blonde. And the last book just closes everything off perfectly. I am now well and truly hooked on Jackie Collins' books and I'd advise everyone to read the Lucky series, they are just ace. HAPPY JACKIE COLLINS READING A'BODY!!

Summary: An intriguing book that keeps you guessing
Review: This book keeps you wondering about everything: the murder, the characters, the story line. It is filled with more real life story plots than lustfull sex scenes.(That's a good thing!)

L.A. Connections is a well written mini-series with all the good qualities of Collins other books except with one difference, a good mystery plot that keeps you guessing.
