An instant classic

I am not a fan of romance novels, and I cannot read anything by Joan's sister Jackie. Joan Collins though taught me what great writing is all about. To live, to love, to eat gourmet food all while living a life of fame and secrecy...it blew me away. The words flowed like honey from the page and took my breath away. I could only hope to approach Joan's writing style with my own meager attempts at prose. All this, and the woman acts too! Joan Collins is a spectacular writer and one of the best we have writing today. Joan is so great, she confounds the experts. She is YEARS ahead of her time, which is why she had that trouble in court. They didn't get her and she didn't yeild...a true artist and a great inspiration to all writers.

simply the best

a wonderful book from a woman who has learned from her years what life and love can be. I can think of no greater author this century than Joan for capturing life in a phrase, a smile in a word, or an experience in a sentence. Joan has written the way women long to live, full of passion and verve, always looking for the miracle man to sweep us away. Don't bother with Goethe for classic literature. He couldn't hold a candle to her. Joan captures the psyche of women like Freud never could. A must read for all.

So good, nothing else compares

Joan Collins has virtually made me give up reading. Her novels are so well written, everything else seems like a waste of time. Joan is a woman who has truely known love and knows how to capture it on the page. I can't wait for the next book in this series. "my little cabage", don't make us wait too long.

I couldn't agree more!!!

Joan Collins is to novels what Shakespear was to scripts. There has been little her sister has writen that has approached this brilliance. Joan hurls thunderbolts where other mearly write sentences. I culdn't put this one down. Why is it that this book was missed on the top 100 novels of the century? Chauvinism. Joan should do like Virginia Woolfe and dress like a man while having torid romances with artists like Rodam. I can't wait for the next book. Joan Collins writes life like I've always dreamed it to be! Ten stars! **********

a classic work

Margret Meed of "Gone with the Wind" fame, watch out...you have met your match and her name is COllins. This woman has come a long way from staring in an episode of "Star Trek", but she draws on her youth and experience to outshine her famous sister in prose. The real talent in the family all belongs to Joan, the other is but a shadow of the former's talent. Joan paints charaters the way Van Gogh painted portraits. Her colors blend to form a lush landscape inhabited by facinating charcters in spellbinding outfits. If Romanace has a name, she has known it. Collin's isn't afraid to tackle the deep questions of life's meaning: love, death, betrayal, and money. If I could live out the drama penned by this talent, I could die a happy person. All we lack if the film of this masterpeice for life to be complete!!! Maybe she will star in it too!!
