5.0 out of 5 stars fun summer read, June 23, 2008

This review is from: Gold Diggers: A Novel (Paperback)

Gold Diggers is a fun walk through a world most of us will only ever dream about - that of rich, beautiful & privileged Londoners.

The book ranks right up there with some of my favorite British chic lit, such as titles by Jane Green and Marian Keyes, but Perry gives her story a nice Sex & the City-like treatment.

It's really the perfect thing to throw in your bag for vacation this summer.

3.0 out of 5 stars hated myself but could't put it down, September 29, 2008

This review is from: Gold Diggers: A Novel (Paperback)

Picked it up at a B&B in Tuscany - hid it from my husband - put a brown cover on it for the airplane flight - embarrassed but read it to the end. Characters are terribly cliched, the sex scenes predictable; I guess the fun part was the locations and the view of life at the top of the social heap.

This review is from: GOLD DIGGERS. (Hardcover)

Haven't finished this yet. Nearly threw the trowel in after just a few pages, when I read that someone lived in 'Eton Square', London, when it's Eaton Square. Such a little error but annoying, as it implies the author doesn't really know what she's writing about and hasn't bothered to check.
I am vaguely enjoying what I'm reading, but another bug bear is that all the character's surnames are ridiculously posh; Cavendish, Devereaux, Gold, even if they are not.
Seems to me some authors write about the lives of the rich and famous without knowing anything about them. Yet, with authors like Jilly Cooper, I really get the impression she has inhabited this world and is writing from experience and not speculation.
