Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

Collins capably narrates her latest fable of Hollywood's aristocracy, originally released as a four-part paperback serial novel. More quickly paced than her previous novel, Thrill (Audio Reviews, LJ 4/15/98), L.A. Connections will please listeners looking for a wild ride with the rich and famous inhabitants of Tinsel Town. The action centers around Madison Castelli, a journalist covering "the rich, notorious, and powerful" for Manhattan Style magazine. Her new assignment takes her to Hollywood to interview Freddie Leon, a renowned but rather reclusive talent agent. Madison soon finds herself covering the story of her career when the up-and-coming starlet whom she just interviewed is found brutally murdered. The narrative shifts rapidly among characters, which also include a serial killer with a penchant for prostitutes, the proprietor of a call girl service for the stars, and a high-class prostitute with a heart of gold. Though the finale is somewhat contrived, Collins's many fans will not be disappointed. Public libraries should buy for demand.ABeth Farrell, Portage Cty. Dist. Lib., OH

By Merihuze (North Salt Lake, UT United States) - See all my reviews
I read a lot of Jackie Collins' books. The thing I like about her books is they are easy reads, entertaining about Hollywood and right to the point. I recommend this book. I had it read quickly and was entertained to the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars I LIKED IT!!, Dec 31 2001
By O. Vorobyeva "sweetyqbk" (The place to be, Brooklyn) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought this books is pretty good. Since it was written to be 4 separate books what i didnt like was that in the beggining of everybooks she would talk about the one that i just finished. Overall her characters were well illustrated in my mind by the way that jackie collins had intended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been better., Jan 20 2001
By Ratmammy "The Ratmammy" (Ratmammy's Town, CA USA) - See all my reviews
L.A. CONNECTIONS is actually 4 separate books combined into one paperback. Each segment reads as a separate book, as they were originally published as a 4-part serial.

The main story line throughout all 4 segments is a series of murders that affects in some way all the main characters. There is Kristin, the expensive call-girl who is trying to support her sister who is in a coma; there is Sally, the big chested super star who is really a down-to-earth simple gal who happened to become a celebrity; there is Madison, the journalist, who accidentally meets Sally and finds herself involved in the coverage of a murder; and a host of other fascinating characters, all bigger than life. And in between the murders there is plenty of sex, violence, and other trash that keeps the pace moving.

What I like about Jackie Collins books are the characters. They are never dull and are always living on the edge, no matter what their profession. L.A. CONNECTIONS was no exception. The problem with this book was that it read like 4 separate books, when i had been expecting one. It also seemed to have an abrupt ending as if Ms Collins wanted to get this book over with. This is not to say I didnt enjoy the book. I did, and it was fast reading from start to finish. But I think this book could have been better, if the ending was done right, and the 4 separate novels (Power,Obsession, Murder,and Revenge) were re-written to be published properly as a single book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing book that keeps you guessing
This book keeps you wondering about everything: the murder, the characters, the story line. It is filled with more real life story plots than lustfull sex scenes. Read more
