Lovers & Gamblers

Summary: Very Good
Review: I read this book in my teens, now in my 30's am reading it again. These types of books amaze me all the time. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but for some leisure reading it's okay. I will say it's a page turner at several parts. I may read one or two of her other books in the future.

Summary: Jackie Collins just rules. Period.
Review: I've read every Jackie Collins novel known to mankind, and for those who are unfamiliar with her extensive body of work and would like to sample some of what makes her so fabulous, run - don't walk! - to your nearest computer, click on Amazon, and pick up a copy of "Lovers and Gamblers." "Lovers and Gamblers" is the perfect introduction to classic Jackie. I've never read an author whose characters spring to life from the pages the way Dallas and Al do, and I can't help but love the way Jackie Collins cracks the male mind so perfectly. For your next trip to the beach, be sure to buy "Lovers and Gamblers" before you go, and have some 70's Bobby Womack or Bill Withers and your other fave deep Soul cuts ready in your MP3 player. Once you reach your destination, stretch out under your palapa, frothy drink within reach, and slink back into the complicated, tawdry and delectable world of Dallas and Al. You'll be glad you did.

Summary: Sometimes You Just Gotta Roll the Dice!
Review: This book is one of Jackie Collins' best. I just re-read it (over a decade since the last time). Even after the HUNDREDS of books I've devoured since then this book still kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat until the end. You'll love the story and the characters even if they are just a tad dated (70's) in terms of clothes and catch phrases! That only adds to its "classic" status right!

Summary: Not my usual scene
Review: Usually I love mystery/thriller/horror novels however a friend leant me a couple of Jackie Collins and I must say they are a perfect distraction and change. Her books are sexy and have so many sub stories running through them it enthralls you to find out whos doing who of hollywood. I always have this feeling that I should know which character represents who in real life because I'm sure some of the characters are based on real people ! They really draw you in and make you think about the characters I often say to myself "No No don't do that you numbskull argh !" Lovers and Gamblers has a surprising ending and the main character really gives everyone something to think about when he handles a bad situation. I also like how Jackie Collins really differentiates between sex and love.
