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.

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!

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.

FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAW WOW. THIS BOOK IS BREATHTAKING. IN THE BOOK GOODBYE JANETTE YOU CANT PUT IT DOWN AND YOU WILL PROBABLY GET A PAPER CUT BECAUSE YOU WILL BE SO EAGER TO TURN THE PAGE. ..."REVENGE" "SEX" "POWER" THESES WORDS PLAY A MAJOR ROLL IN THIS BOOK. THE INCIDENTS THAT TAKE PLACE IN THIS STORY WILL HAVE YOU UP ALL NIGHT READING. I AM 14 DON'T MAKE MY AGE MAKE YOU THINK I DON'T NO WHAT IM SAYING GOOBYJANETTE IS A BOOK THAT HAS ENVY AND SEX. IN THIS STORY SEX IS A GAME. THE ENDING IS ONE THAT WILL COMPLETE YOU NOT MAKE YOU WANT MORE IT IS JUST ENOUGH AND THAT IS HOW I WILL LEAVE YOU.
