1.0 out of 5 starsSo bad--stay away
By M. Wendell on March 11, 2012
Format: Paperback
I rarely, if ever, review books, but this one was so awful and actually offensive to me that I just had to warn others. This book is absurd. I really enjoyed some of Anna Maxted's other novels and I had heard this one was different so I wasn't necessarily expecting run of the mill chick lit, but I also wasn't expecting this unbelievable crapfest. Sure, the writing is fine, but the story is completely insane and actually, rather disgusting. The premise is totally ridiculious. The book is about a truly horrible family (there is not one redeeming character--all are hateful, one-dimensional, pathetic, and disgusting) and their tribulations over the years which while seemingly coincidental are all because they are literally being stalked by an obsessed psychopath whose motivation for destroying them is beyond ridiculious. The things that happen are totally unrealistic and completely unexplained, i.e. it would be impossible for someone to do the things this person does to this family and have it work out so well for him. Throw in the rape of a little girl (for no reason), incest (for no reason), child abuse (for no reason), murder (more than one--for no reason), and a huge dose of sheer stupidity and you have this piece of junk. It's really long as well, so takes up way too much time to get over with. It will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. Not sure what the title "Rich Again" has to do with the book. Pure crap - save the money and time and don't bother. I won't be reading anything by Maxted again - anyone who could come up with this (and manage to get it published) is a sicko. With all the great books out there, there's no reason to read this one.

1.0 out of 5 starsThe worst thing I've read in a long time
By princess superstar on April 23, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I read the reviews and noticed that they were unfavorable, but I thought those reviewers might just be anti- chick-lit escapist fluff and were judging it as though it's supposed to be literature. I liked one of her other books, so I figured they were wrong. They're right: it's terrible.

You know those soap operas where someone's wife dies in a tragic accident that may not be an accident, and his children become wastrels or institutionalized, and someone marries his sister who was given up for adoption years ago without she's related, and there's a horrible second wife who steals his business out from under him and seemingly kills the step-child (who really lives and goes on to seek revenge), and someone is secretly married, and the evil twin turns out to be impersonating him? Oh, and there's a psychopath stalking them all? And you think, "What a far-fetched, absurd, forced story. Could they think of another ridiculous plot point to trot out? Who writes this?" Apparently Anna Maxted could, since that's basically this book. For a while I thought it was so over the top that it was almost poking fun at itself, but I think it was serious. Cliched, undeveloped, stupid characters. Depressing, contrived plot that isn't redeemed with any humor. Dragging pacing, which is pretty amazing when you pack it this full of silly, over the top events. I finally abandoned it, after having almost done so several previous times.

4.0 out of 5 starsABSURD YET CAPTIVATING
By Suzi on May 31, 2010
Format: Paperback
The cover of this book is very misleading--this is no light chic lit novel. Definitely about dysfunctional/rich people with sex, drugs, murder and deception--almost like an early Jackie Collins's novel! I had a bit of trouble with the time frames with characters and the years, and perhaps this was written this way to emphasize that "the past will come to haunt/hurt you"?? It's a bit absurd yet a captivating book.

4.0 out of 5 starsMurder, Sex, laughs, Celebrity Cameos, a little something for everyone
By T. Shelter on December 28, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If I hadn't read it on the cover I never would have known this was a book by Anna Maxted. I have enjoyed her other books, and pre-ordered this one thinking that was what I was getting. As I read this book I was happily surprised by this departure from her regular writing.

If you can get past the sexual content (necessary for story development) of book one (the book is divided up into 5 books), you will be rewarded with a well written story that makes the melodrama of Dallas and Melrose Place seem tame. Maxted did a wonderful job of creating characters that you love, hate, and love to hate. Even though Maxted departed slightly from her past books the thing that remains the same is her observations on human relationships and showing that love is not always black and white. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a bit of humor, murder, sex, and pop culture in their books.

3.0 out of 5 starsDon't judge a book by its cover...
By Mahalani on August 15, 2010
Format: Paperback
This book is a prefect example of that. I picked it up while in Target and judging by the cover ( my mistake) and the description on the back of the book I thought this was going to be basic chick-lit, light and girly. Boy was I wrong!!This book is very dark and shocking in the level of vial behavior that goes on in it. Once getting past the shock of the book not being what a expected, the story was pretty good, most of the plots seemed to be taken from soap operas though. My main problem with the book was the format in which it was written, the way the chapters jumped around from the current year, then 2 years before, now 10 years before, now 5 years later, now 15 years in the past again was very hard to keep up with and totally unnecessary in telling this story.
