5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced and very entertaining read, December 26, 1997

This review is from: Spring Collection (Paperback)

After Scruples Two and Lovers, I was a bit worried that Judith Krantz, my favorite pure-entertainment novelist, was stuck in an '80s timewarp. (Her publicity photo on the bookjacket certainly is.) But this latest book is very much of the '90s, showing that she can adapt to a different era from the time of Princess Daisy, I'll Take Manhattan and co. Spring Collection is a lot faster-paced than all her other books, and most of the action takes place within just a couple of weeks. All the heroines - there are five in this one - are very appealing, and it also features one of the most attractive of any of her main male characters, Jacques Necker. (If you know any real Swiss men like that, please let me know!)

4.0 out of 5 stars frothy, light entertainment, well written but a bit shallow, January 25, 1998

By

florkow (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spring Collection (Paperback)

I like her books, I really do! Wonderful text, good language, well-paced stories.

However, books like Till We Meet Again, Princess Daisy or Dazzle showed the characters growing and developping, while Scruples 2, Lovers and this one are just like - and Krantz says it herself towards the end of the book - like an extra long episode of Love Boat. You enjoy it hugely, but you cannot get emotionally involved with her characters as much as in her other novels.

The book was a treat, I'll read the next one as soon as it comes out, but I hope that, at some point, Judith Krantz will write something a bit more emotionally strong again, not just the best soap opera in the world. But then, I am not complaining (too much), the best soap opera is still mighty good reading!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Judith Krantz re-vamped for the 90s!, February 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Spring Collection (Paperback)

In her latest tale of glamour and passion Judith Krantz shows her new, 90s style. The novel's cast of characters will take a shortcut to your heart with their directness, vivacity and sense of humor, even if you have no clue what a Paul Mitchell hair is. Spring Collection is the best of all the recent attempts (Models Inc., Pret-a-Porte, Swan, etc.) to fictionalize the elusive world of fashion

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as good as Scruples 2.
Spring Collection was a good book, but I must say I like the 80's style of writing better. Spring Collection was easy enough to read, but Scruples 2 is my favorite. Read more
