Something is funky with the way this book is going on my shelf. I have read the original Hollywood Wives, not the New Generation. I have noidea what possessed me to pick it up, without even its jacket on, at a cafe bookshelf. As I read it though, it was so bizarre to me how it seemed to jump from unrelated story to unrelated story. Of course, the characters' lives began to intertwine, but there was still a bizarre outlier...until it all came crashing together at the end. It was funny to me thatsome of this is bad in a very fun way, some of it was just bad in a bad waynot exactly mad i read it i guess, i do like a trash mess sometimes but it def isn't something i could ever recommend
Fabulous!
Really two and a half stars. Classic 80's Hollywood trash novel. An amusing read, if you're in the right mood. The plot bogs down a bit toward the end of the first half, but the second half really takes off. It's mainly about a hot movie that everyone in Hollywood wants to be a part of. There's also a murder sub-plot that becomes connected with the rest of the story in the second half. It's pretty much what you'd expect: a quick, mindless, entertaining read.Read for the June group read at
it was good, then dragged, and then raced to the end. i love starting my new year with the inimitable Jackie Collins
This is book No. 3 in my Chic Lit through the ages course a friend jokingly suggested to me, and I must say I'm loving it. This book was written in 1983 (my birth year), and it's shocking how much changed between this one and the book before it, "The Valley of the Dolls." In "Valley" and "The Best of Everything," sex was minimal. You could tell by how it was addressed that writing about such a subject was taboo. You can even see it in the movies; in "Everything," some of the sex scenes are taken
Hollywood Wives is not what I expected, which was a campy romp full of glitz, glamour, and sex. There was plenty of that, but also something darker, and not particularly campy. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not a romance novel, nor an 80's version of Real Housewives. Think more pulp fiction. It doesn't celebrate or laud the vapid, sordid, and macabre; instead, Collins invites you to root for the utter destruction and humiliation of her protagonists. They are so self-serving and vain,
