Summary: I like this book, as well as all those before this
Review: I read this book during my tour round Europe. Once I started, I read and read continuously until I finish the whole book. In the end, I miss out on almost two days of tour. This is as good as all the other books that I have read before. Keep on giving us these kind of good novel to read, Jackie.

Summary: Simply Wonderful!
Review: I really liked that book. From the few Jackie Collins books that I have read, this was by far the best. Lucky is a very strong woman - that's the way today's woman should be! They should not let people walk on their feet. What I admire is the faith and trust that there is in Lucky's and Lennie's marriage. It's not directly their fault if they had both committed adultery, only once. The one to be blamed is Donna. Lucky was trapped in believing that Lennie was dead, that's why she slept with Alex, while Lennie slept with that italian girl so as to save himself. A must read book for all Jackie Collins fan. I am not exactly one of her fans, but I definitely am now after having read Lucky's Revenge!

Summary: Oh, brother
Review: I've read every Jackie Collins book she's written, but this one seems like an imitation of an imitation. Where is the freshness? Hollywood seems old and tired and so do all of the characters. They all still live back in 1975, I guess. Maybe Jackie has changed or maybe I have, but I got so hung up on the awful writing that I couldn't get into the plot, and didn't care about any of the characters who are still thinking about sex just as they did in 1975-- nothing seems to have changed. The characters still "give head" and the men still think the length of their you know what means anything. Whoa, Jackie. It's 1997. People think twice before passing bodily fluids. The Mafia is boring and "Donnatella" (villainess) doesn't light my fire. I certainly don't care whether Lucky prevails or not-- and maybe she should comb her "wild mane" of hair, which is about the only description that Collins bothers to give of her, other than that she's gorgeous, of course. All of Collins' characters each have about 4 characteristics that drive them-- i.e., ambition, greed, lust and sexual attractiveness. That's it. That's all there is. Read carefully and you can see this for yourself-- they do not do one thing that isn't caused by one of those four characteristics the author has given them. Everything they say or do is driven by ambition, lust, etc. etc. This makes for a lot of characters who are like wind-up dolls. I gave this book a generous 4 because some of Jackie's earlier books did give me a lot of enjoyment, but maybe that was because it was back in 1977. Oh, by the way, Jackie still gives good author photo. She looks twice as good as she did on her first books when she was 20 or 25 years younger. Must be something in the water out there..

Summary: Awesome, Jackie - you've outdone yourself-what's next?
Review: I've read every one of Jackie's Lucky Series since I was 15, starting with Chances. As soon as I saw it I had to have the book. Lucky is a very tough woman, but she's also very sexy. It was really great to tie in some of the other characters, Brigitte, Gino, Lennie, etc. That's what so great about her. I often wonder if Jackie is not Lucky and visa versa. I only wish I would've read the book sooner, so I might have had the chance to win that (lunch, dinner) date with her. I would just like to know who Lucky really is. Does Jackie get to read these?

Summary: JACK IS BACK!
Review: Jackie Collins is always the best when it comes to fun can't put down reads. In Vendetta Collins proves that she is the queen of the beach read! Vendetta continues the story of Lucky Santangello, this time as the head of her own studio and a happily married woman and devoted mother. All is perfect until Donatella Bonnati takes revenge on Lucky destroying her and those around her. Now Lucky vows to destroy her and get back her and get it all back.
Vendetta is a fun read. The characters are interesting, the story may seem far fetched at times, but it keeps the pages turning. Jackie Collins says she wants readers to have fun reading her books and Vendetta lives up to to that promise. I hope that Jackie Collins keeps writing her fun reads, because I always have a good time reading her books.

Summary: If you want a slow read- this book is not for you!

Summary: LUCKY IS BACK! by M. Boucher
Review: Lucky Santangelo is a woman not to reckon with, and she is back in yet again, another blockbuster from superstar author Jackie Collins. This time, after loosing her husband and her studio, Lucky sets out to rebuilt her life and regain her statut as «Lady Boss».Bringing back characters from her previous novels, and introducing us to new ones, Collins not only succeeds in penning another blockbuster, but also re-establishes herself as the queen of popular fiction. VENDETTA : Lucky's Revenge is Collins at her best. Well crafted, suspensful, steamy, it keeps the reader glued to the pages and makes you wish Collins would write a fifth book about the Santangelo clan, which, by the way, is exactly what she's doing.

Summary: G R E A T !!
Review: Out of all Jackie Collins books that deal with the Santangelo Family I think this was her very best. She made all the characters jump off the pages and, gave you the feeling that you were apart of the story. The action and the plot of the story kept me from putting the book down.
I think if you loved Lucky in her previous books
you will enjoy her, and the rest of her family in
this book.
