5.0 out of 5 stars A TOMCAT WITH A WHIP! by M. Boucher, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Goodbye, Janette (Mass Market Paperback)

Set in the glittering world of haute couture, GOODBYE, JANETTE has everything : sex, greed, love, revenge... Spanning two generations, the story centers around three women who fight for the control of an entreprise, which is in the hands of a ruthless man, who, shall we say, knows a trick or two on how to use his...fly !

Once again, Robbins is in top form ! Not only does he grab his readers with his forthright, no-hold-barred prose, but he also know the true meaning of the word «scandalous».

If you're looking for a daring novel, grab this one. You won't be dissapointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars a mixed trash bag, April 21, 2000

Clifford F Anderson (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Goodbye, Janette (Mass Market Paperback)

I was disappointed by this one. I had finished the Carpetbaggers, and was looking forward to reading another Harold Robbins book, but this one was really sleazy and for Robbins, that's saying a lot. I didn't like any characters in the book and the whole focus of the book seemed to be super deviant sex. I am no prude and I like his other books. I mean how many times must I read phallus on one page? Robbins does make you want to keep reading so you know what happens but by the time I got to the end, I didn't care. Not like the Carpetbaggers which I wish never ended. Skip it!

2.0 out of 5 stars its is getting worst and worst, August 22, 2003

This review is from: Goodbye Janette (Hardcover)

The first part of the book, the story of Tanya is excellent, is a page turner and you will not be able to put the book down, but when Tanya is gone the book is getting worst at each chapter and the writer begins to write and write things that doesn't have to do with the main story, you will also read some parts that medically are impossible (and I am not a medical doctor), but when a woman has an hysterectomy as young as 18, she can't get plastic surgery and she has to take many pills to feel good and she can't make a diet to be a model, NO WAY, as this are many things that can't be possible.
