Utter Trash
|
There are so many things wrong with this novel. The syntax is appalling, the characters are so one dimensional they could be wooden puppets. Bagshawe seems to have an obsession with Madonna and Baccarat Crystal. I don't understand why authors like Bagshawe and Tasmina Perry are so obsessed with mentioning designers - most of whom I haven't heard of. Worst of all are sex scenes, I was on the bus reading this and had to stifle my laughs. Unfortunately, it is completely addictive and I couldn't put it down, partly because I had to see how bad it could get and secondly I wanted to find out what happened.
Read with a large pinch of salt!

A bit slow

I am a big bookworm but had never read any of Louise Bagshawe's yet, but had heard that she was a brilliant writer. Unfortunately I think I may have chosen the wrong one to read first as I found it very slow and a bit to raunchy for my liking. However when I got nearer the end it seemed to get much better and I couldn't wait to find the outcome. Not a book I would tell friends to read but I think that maybe it wasnt so bad and should try and read another.

The least great

I normally love Louise Bagshawe and this was readable, but it lacked what the others have in my opinion. I think she'd tried to make it raunchier but lost some of the depth in the process. I did get into the story eventually and raced to the end, but it took a lot longer to get me hooked and I found it disappointing overall.

This book is absolutely addictive. You can not put it down. It's filled with glamour, intrigue and women that never fail to succeed. A must-have read.

A waste of good trees

This is the only Louise Bagshawe novel I've read, and I don't understand how it got published. The characters are cardboard cutouts, there are cliches on every page, the author jumps POV within scenes, and she has such a bad grasp of the English langauge that I wonder if she even had an editor. Not to mention the story itself is ridiculous. I strongly believe that people are more intelligent than this, so I recommend giving it a miss.
