Book Reviews of Once Is Not Enough (Jacqueline Susann)
Book Review: Once wasn't enough for me! Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
The second time I read this book, I found that I really identified with Linda Riggs! Always the star in school, once she hit the real world, she found that nothing in life comes easy. But, why not use what abilities you have to get what you want? January was the perfect way for Linda to feel that she was still a creator and God all rolled into one! January was daddy's girl, and who better to have for a dad then one of the most accomplished directors in the history of Hollywood? After getting January a job at Gloss Magazine, Linda then wants her to use whatever pull she has to get an interview with Tom Colt. But, along the way, Linda finds herself attracted to Tom. But, one glitch in that is that January is also attracted to Tom. So, Linda pulls the childish tactic of getting January another assignment at Gloss so she can have Tom all to herself. Didn't work! So, a little tramp like Linda backs off when she sees that Tom really has feelings for January. But, in a sense, January is more of a lady than Linda could ever hope to be! But, keep in mind, that Dee (Mike's extremely rich wife) also was using Mike to keep her image to the public intact. If I were Mike, I wouldn't have stayed with Dee once he found out that Dee's only pleasure in life was running other people's lives. But, in a sense, Dee is like Linda in the sense that the one person that Dee can't run over is the one person she cares the most for. The Great Karla. But, I can see the similiarities between Mike and Karla. They both stay alive and Kicking by using and taking advantage of anyone who seems the least bit interested in them. But, January is in a sense trapped in two worlds. the one she had at Miss Haddons and the one that Mike throws her into after her accident. When you are between two worlds, of course, you can't be expected to fit into either one. Enter the Vitamin Shots. (LSD). January tries them, and finds that they help her to cope with the reality of her messed up perception of the world. Needless to say, Dolls and Lsd go hand in hand!
