Customer Reviews

Interesting Charcaters and Fast Paced.

I really enjoyed this book. Could not put it down. It was one of her better ones. Glad she brought Lucky into the picture. Makes it like some of the older editions. Hope she will write more updated books. Her novels are fast paced and she has a wonderful way of introducing her characters and yet blending them together. This novel had a lot of humor in it and was not as raunchy as some of the others. My only complaint is that her sex scenes do not need to be as graphic. Some things are better left unsaid. But, over all I enjoyed reading this book. It was like "old times". Wish she would write a sequel to this book. There is plenty of room to add on and expand on the characters. In her true style she always leaves room to write more and keep it interesting. Don't stop now Jackie.

Collins scores again!

I have read every book Jackie Collins has written and again she does not disappoint. She brings her characters to life like no one else. They live in a fantasy world to me but I felt like I was along for the ride. I get the chance to escape into the fantasy life we have shoved down our throats by television shows, magazines, etc. Even when her characters seem naive, they always end up being a strong woman character. Denver shows us it is ok not be a size 0 and that yes, it is possible to get your dream guy. Collins is also good at bringing in various characters to tie her books and their worlds together. My hope is the next book is a sex-capade involving Denver and Bobby.

Great Book

I started reading this book on late Saturday night. I finished it by lunch on Sunday. I couldn't put it down. It captured me from page one to the very end. The characters were very well developed. This was actually the first Jackie Collins book I have ever read. I have since ordered three more.

Retro Collins, Major Fun!

In recent novels Jackie Collins seemed to be forgetting what's made her one of the world's bestselling authors with some of her latest novels being a bit dry with characters that were passable, but not exciting. 'Poor Little Bitch Girl' is a return to the retro fun of Collins' earlier novels, namely Lovers & Gamblers, The Stud and Thrill. Collins has something for everyone in this novel, from Los Angeles to New York to Washington, there are vivid characters from coast to coast. The three female leads, Denver, Annabelle and Carolyn present different different impressions about the roles women take in contemporary society. Supported by Bobby Santangelo, the strapping son of Collins' recurring diva, Lucky, the three girls take a mega trip filled with murder, sex, disappearance and money. Ever the moralist, Collins' tale wraps up perfectly, not one loose end. I absolutely loved this book, it was the perfect long haul flight novel, it never got dull and kept my interest from the first page to the last. Have a blast with this one, it's clear Jackie Collins did!

"Hello Jackie Collins"

It has been a year and a half since Jackie Collin's last book was released, and now finally comes "Poor Little Bitch Girl", her 27th novel. In this well-written book Jackie takes us back and forth between Hollywood and New York, detailing the lives of three beautiful women who all went to high school together in Los Angeles. First of all there is Annabelle; a daughter of a famous Hollywood couple who were a well-known actor and actress, Annabelle was shipped off to live in New York City when she was going through puberty. There she started her own call-girl service that catered to rich and famous men. Next, there is Denver, a high powered attorney, and lastly Carolyn who rounds out the trio. Carolyn goes to Washington D.C. , becomes an intern, and ultimately becomes pregnant by a powerful senator who is married. She then vanishes. Also important to note is the return of one of Jackie's most successful characters, Bobby Santangelo, a good-looking stud who endears himself to all the females around him. Like all of Jackie Collin's books "Poor Little Bitch Girl" is excitingly written with well rounded characters with whom the reader cares for. The story is fast paced and written in a way that you cannot wait for the next chapter. How Jackie Collins comes up with these amazing stories and characters is nothing short of her being a genius. She has often stated she watches what goes on around her in Hollywood, as Jackie is often seen at Beverly Hills cocktail parties and awards shows. While at these events she is like a sponge taking everything in and eventually a lot of what she witnesses is put to paper as stories and characters, albeit with different names. I love "Poor Little Bitch Girl", and if you've enjoyed her previous work, this one will hold a special place with other Collin's novels. Great work Jackie!!!
