Recensione:

'I adored Goddess of Vengeance last year, but I enjoyed The Power Trip even more - so much so that I finished it at 4am after one long sitting ... As usual, Collins' heroines are strong, ballsy and above all intelligent women who come out on top ... I savoured every line. Reading this is the most fun you can have with your clothes on' - Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail
'Lucky's back and she's as fabulous and fiery as ever... I raced through it and was gripped from start to finish. Without doubt, my best book of the year so far' - Daily Mail
'Sex, power and intrigue - no one does it better than Jackie' ***** - heat Magazine
'A tantalising novel packed with power struggles, greed and sex. This is Collins at her finest' - Closer
'"My girls would eat Christian Grey for breakfast"' - Interview, The Sun 5/10
'She is the undisputed Queen of Steam and her first bonkbuster was published before EL James could read a book, let alone write one. Jackie Collins, 75, has just released her 29th novel and sold a staggering 500 million copies since staring out in the 60s... "Sex should be fun and equal and erotic," says Jackie. "It's not about getting tied up and spanked. My women are not submissive. They're strong."... "My ambition was to write. I said, 'Screw it, I'm going to follow my dream'." And she did... Her first book, The World is Filled with Married Men, was published in 1968... Novels that followed caused an uproar with their explicit content. Her latest, The Power Trip, is no exception. It opens with a sex scene before telling the story of a Russian billionaire and his supermodel girlfriend who invite five couples on a yacht trip that goes horribly wrong... All Jackie really wants to do is carry on writing. "I'm a workaholic. I love what I do and I'll never stop"'
'Forty years on, her star shows no sign of waning - it is Collins' ability as a storyteller that goes some way towards explaining her long reign as "Queen of the Bonkbuster"'. - Irish Independent --Antonia Hoyle, Daily Mirror 11/10

L'autore:

There have been many imitators, but only Jackie Collins can tell you what really goes on in the fastest lane of all. From Beverly Hills bedrooms to a raunchy prowl along the streets of Hollywood; from glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and the mansions of the power brokers -- Jackie Collins chronicles the real truth from the inside looking out. Jackie Collins has been called a "raunchy moralist" by the late director Louis Malle and "Hollywood's own Marcel Proust" by Vanity Fair magazine. With over 400 million copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries, and with some twenty-seven New York Times bestsellers to her credit, Jackie Collins is one of the world's top-selling novelists.
