Product Description

In The Betsy, Harold Robbins breaks open the shocking world of the automobile industry. A world of savage ambition, searing passion, and breathtaking fortunes won or lost in a desperate struggle for power! They were two men bound together by their daring, their vision - and their erotic power over women. Angelo Perino rose from an immigrant family to life on the razor's edge, where fast cars and faster women were his for the taking. Loren Hardeman was the patriarch of a giant automobile empire - and of a family sliding into decadence, adultery and destruction. From Detroit to the lavish estates of Grosse Pointe, Miami and the Riviera, they conspired to build the world's most advanced automobile - The Betsy. To do it, they would risk everything they had - and the destinies of the men and women caught in the fire of their dream!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Betsy is About Finding True Love, Jul 23 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Betsy (Mass Market Paperback)
To me, Harold Robbin's 'The Betsy' is about finding true love. I kind of skipped through the corporate wheeling and dealing pages and focused on Angelo's personal angst and love life. I loved Angelo. He is at the same time an every man and a hero. I found Betsy highly energetic, optimistic, and the ending, just beautiful. This is a far cry from his usual gritty and grim novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, Hard Hitting, Could not put it down, Oct 19 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Betsy (Mass Market Paperback)
As with most of the Harold Robbins books that I have read this one was action packed and kept me interested all the way through. This Book is about a shrewd and cunning business minded race car driver who rises to meet the challenges of building a product against all odds. I saw the movie and then I read it again, It was interesting to visualize a younger Tommy Lee Jones as Angelo Perino. I found I enjoyed the book just as much the second time through. 5 stars
