Book Reviews of Vegas Rich
Book Review: Tacky and Garish
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently finished Vegas Rich by Fern Michaels and I must say it was a painful process. A part of the book (when Fanny just got into town) mentions that the character could never live in a town that looked like what it was in broad daylight, cheap and tacky. I feel that way about these ignorant, unrealistic characters that Michaels chose to create. Yes the novel does leave food for thought, and the thought is, who would be stupid enough to keep taking the abuse the antagonists in this story keep dishing? You are supposed to respect and admire the heroines in the story. I kept finding myself let down by the pitiful reasons the self-righteous protagonists in Vegas Rich had for prolonging their suffering, not to mention causing the perpetual demise of the dynasty. Technically the book is poorly written, there are not enough transitions to really let a reader immerse themselves in the `world' the author is trying to create. Also, a lot is left out in terms of dialog, and by dialog, I mean who is saying what to whom. Makes for a confusing scene and really breaks the `fourth wall'. I wish I wasn't one to finish every book I picked up, but I am and this is my first review, so I don't want any Michaels fans to take this too seriously.
