Summary: One of Collins' two best
Review: "Lucky," along with its prequel, "Chances," are the two best novels that Jackie Collins ever wrote. Collins will never be mistaken for Toni Morrison any time in the near future, but in her day she excelled in the fast-paced glitzy beach read. Of course, as in all of her novels, Collins wastes minimal time with character development and plot lucidity, but when she is on the ball, as she is with "Lucky" and "Chances," you're being pulled along so fast you don't really care. Unfortunately, the pop novel has changed, and Collins hasn't. But in her heyday in the mid '80's, no one could touch her.

Summary: 'LUCKY'
Review: 'LUCKY' is the second installment of the Lucky Santangelo series and in a departure from the first book 'CHANCES'; 'LUCKY' puts the focus on the beautiful and headstrong daughter of former mobster Gino Santangelo. In this second installment Lucky takes on the task of building her own hotel in Atlantic City but runs into a few obstacles as well as old friends along the way. Lucky's childhood friend Olympia Stanislopolus is reintroduced to us in this novel as a twenty-seven year old, thrice divorced heiress with a lust for rock stars, drugs and sex. We are also reintroduced to Olympia's father, Demitri Stanislopolus, the founder of one of the world's largest shipping empires and one of the richest men in the world, who, without giving away too much, is inexplicably drawn to Lucky whom he'd only seen as a child before but now sees as a woman. Jackie Collins also introduces us to a host of new characters such as Lennie Golden, an attractive up and coming comedian who after a chance encounter with Lucky at the Magiriano, the Las Vegas hotel owned by Lucky and Gino, has his sights set on the dark haired beauty. Then there is Jess a blackjack dealer at the Magiriano and Lennie's best friend who, after tragedy strikes, ends up making a new life for herself by taking Lennie's career in her hands. We also meet Santino Bonnatti, son of Enzio Bonnatti a long time Santangelo family rival, who vows to take revenge on Lucky after his father's death. 'LUCKY' is a great follow up to 'CHANCES' and gives the reader a taste of what's to come for Lucky and Gino in the future Lucky Santangelo novels. The only complaint that I had with this novel is that Collins did not focus enough on the building relationship between Gino, Lucky and Steven Berkley, Gino's newfound son. But overall 'LUCKY' is another excellent book by Collins. 4 ½ stars!

Summary: Enjoyed it--but not as much
Review: I think it was Lucky. She didn't move me as much as her father did in the original story. She was a little harder than I thought she would be. I did like the way she was tamed by her brother. However, he faded out of the storyline and I thought he should have played a bigger part in her life than just her lawyer.

Summary: Another masterpiece.
Review: I would say that "Lucky" is one of the most exciting and riviting novels that Jackie Collins has ever written. I have read all of her books, but, the "Lucky Santangello" group really take the cake. "Lucky" is brilliant,exciting,and emotionally moving. Once you start reading this novel, you will eat,sleep and breathe the characters until you have finished. It's a book you just cant put down.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Jackie Collins knows how to keep a reader reading. The plot was excellent and Lucky was the bomb. She either liked you or she didn't and she read people like an open book. She was determined to be the "Woman" in a so called man's world. She took care of her responsibilities like a true lady. Lucky and Lennie were made for each other, even though they had many obstacles in their way. The Bonnatti's have once again learned not to mess with the Santangelo's. Gino and Lucky are still on top and loving it. This book has everything, so if you're hesitant about buying it, don't be. Collins knows how to write about a true woman.

This novel is extraordinary. This novel kept me reading, I couldn't take my eyes or mind off the book. Jackie Collins gets deep into descriptions making you feel the characters emotions and desires. As you read on and learn more about each one, you feel that you know these people. You can just imagine each scenario in your head, and feel that you are part of the scene but that no one can see you.
