Lucky

I just finished Chances which is the first book about a mob familyExcellant Read

The second book in the Lucky Santangelo series. It's a direct sequel to "Chances" which introduced us to the main characters. It runs from 1980 to 1984 and deals with young, beautiful and tough Lucky Santangelo and her family and assorted characters. There's way too many characters and situations to explain in a review...and that's sort of the problem. There are a huge amount of characters to keep track of and I occasionally got confused. Also it's long. My copy is 598 pages. There's also plenty of sex and violence all throughout the book. Still I was never bored and it all leads up to a satisfying conclusion with only a few minor loose ends which I'm sure will be cleared up in the next books which I have ever intention of reading (there are 11 in all). Collins was a very talented writer and this is worth reading.

Thrilling potboiler

Fast, quick delivery. Book arrived in almost perfect condition. Very pleased. I am a huge Jackie Collins fan, and own all of her books. I like to keep a couple of spares of each so this will make a great addition to my collection.

This is my first experience of a Jackie Collins book. For years I have avoided them as I studied english lit and was always told that it was no good for the brain! Well I decded to give it a go and I loved it! The main character Lucky is strong, independent and a little bit cruel but likable.The writing style is great- like watching a brilliant soap. This is a real page turner. I will be making some more Jackie Collins purchases very soon!
