This part of the series was predictable but the ending made me want to read the next one. It's very short it only took me like 2 hours to read. Very light reading. So I guess If I were you I'd just get the collector's edition of L.A. Connections that way you won't have to keep going to the library or buying the next book in the series. I wonder if the 2nd one is good...........

If you're really into mysteries,suspense,high powers and murders,I would recommend L.A. Connections Powers, by Jackie Collins.It was an excellent book I really enjoyed it.

I've just finished reading the latest from popular fiction Jackie Collins, and let me tell you it is one hell of a ride! Like Stephen King and John Saul before her, Collins has peened a serial book (divided in four parts) which tells the tale of Madison Castelli, a journalist from the Big Apple, who goes to L.A. to interview Freddie Leon, the head of one of the biggest talent agency in the business. Unbeknownst to her(and us) there's a killer on the loose who murders high-priced call-girls.

Who is the murderer? Kevin Page, the back-stabbing partner of Freddie Leon? Jimmy Sica, the anchorman with the killer(not a hint!) looks? His brother Jake, the photograher? Or is it Bobby, the evasive husband of sexpot Salli T. Turner?

True to the form, Collins has sketched a wonderful, scandalously who-done-it novella that grab the reader and never let go. Her characters are all appealing, especially the one of Madison. She has the fisty don't-bleep!-with-me- Lucky Santangelo attitude, which is always a welcoming change from the tiring submassive women-characters who dominate the litterary world.

Well written, intricately structured, POWER is Collins at her best. She has successfully achieved what she'd set out to do: keep us reading way into the night!

I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed this book . It was a definte page turner. Although smutty, and yes, amatuerish, I liked it anyway. So much that I bought the second one! Read it. Enjoy.

I can hardly believe people love this junk. I loved all the earlier stuff but this is an insult to our intelligence. It's very amatuerish writing and they're too short for the repetition she throws in with each follow up book. I bought them all at one otherwise I would not have bothered to read them - maybe gone to the library to see if they got better as they progressed.

Four boring books at $4.00 each equals $16.00 for one story. Jackie is laughing all the way to the bank and for the first time ever, I feel ripped off after buying books. We've been had - but go on, do as I'd probably do, find out for yourself. Then you'll remember these words!

This book was very fast-paced; an easy read. Jackie is one of my favorite authors. I can't wait for her to finish the series. If you are a Jackie Collins fan, you won't be disappointed.

Jackie Collins DOES NOT disappoint her fans! The book is a fast read and leaves you wanting more NOW!!!

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HER BOOKS AND I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THIS LIKE A MINISERIES, I COULD NOT WAIT TO GET THE NEXT BOOK TO KEEP ON READING. I HAVE NOT READ THE SECORD BOOK BUT I'M FIXING TO START READING IT TODAY. SO FAR IT IS A GREAT READING.

Power was a short, sweet, good book in true Collins form. I can hardly wait for Obsession to come out!!!! Power introduces you to new characters: Kristin, Madison, Natalie, Freddy, Jake. New and fresh with all the LA glitter and a lot of danger to come! I loved it.

Jackie again has done it. With this new mini series one cannot wait to get to the second book. She has captured the essence again of big wig tycoons, the enthralling process of the Hollywood stars and brought them down to our level. Keeping us reading the whole way through. I can't wait for the second of this series.
