内容简介 From the author of many bestselling books, this one focuses on the lifestyles of today's music superstars, with a legendary guitar hero, a soul superstar and a pin-up groupy. Other titles from Jackie Collins include "Sinners", "The Bitch" and "The Stud".
作者简介 Jackie Collins is the author of twenty
New York Times bestselling novels. From
Hollywood Kids to
Rock Star, from
Lady Boss to
Dangerous Kiss, Jackie Collins has chronicled the lives of the rich and famous with "devastating accuracy" (
Los Angeles Times). Ms. Collins lives in Los Angeles and is currently working on her next novel.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 媒体推荐 After two delicious excursions into the raunchy glitter of the Hollywood star machine (Hollywood Wives and Hollywood Husbands), Collins nose-dives precipitously - with a sloppy, near-perfunctory tale of three pop-music heroes and the devious mogul who controls their lives. Kinky record-magnate Marcus Citroen and his sleek wife, Nova (a former prostitute who puts up with his taste for violent sex), live on a fantastic Malibu estate that contains three separate mansions and has enough room for - well, for a fund-raising party for Governor Jack Highland. Virtually ordered to perform are three of Marcus' top stars: libidinous English singer Kris Phoenix, who rises from hauling his ashes to oblige; top black performer Bobby Mandella; and young pop sensation Rafealla, who has made a Faustian deal with Citroen. In a series of long, obvious flashbacks that clumsily cut away from dramatic moments and derail all suspense, the reader learns: that Bobby Mandella's affair with Nova resulted in his being hurled from a 14-story apartment building by Marcus' hired thugs (he survived, but is now blind); that in return for a successful career, Rafealla has promised to slide her innocent body into Marcus' bed; and that Kris Phoenix really likes blondes (but will make an exception, later on, for Rafealla, who in any event is already the father of Phoenix's illegitimate child from a long-ago-forgotten ten minutes in the back of a limo). Add to this a band of jewel thieves who plunder the fund-raiser and hold all of the above-mentioned in a "hostage situation" - and you've got a plot ridiculous even for the genre. Collins' usually sure-handed command of pacing has apparently deserted her, as has her jaundiced eye for the fake-outs and foibles of the rich and famous. Overall: a choppy, literal-minded outing that will disappoint old fans, and fail to attract new ones. (Kirkus Reviews)
