Book Reviews of Vegas Rich (Bookcassette(r) Edition)
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.
Summary of Vegas Rich (Bookcassette(r) Edition)
With a heart full of dreams, Sallie Coleman leaves Texas and heads west determined to get as far from the squalor of her dirt poor beginnings. With its shifting sands, smoky saloons and bingo palaces, Las Vegas seems like a paradise. A paradise where an extraordinary twist of fate makes Sallie the most powerful businesswoman in Nevada.Suddenly she is rich. With the help of Philip Thornton, the handsome Bostonian, Sallie is transformed into Vegas's most elegant first lady. Philip gives her two sons, Simon and Ash. One will bring her great joy, the other, heartbreak.
Enter Fanny Logan. . . the small-town beauty from Pennsylvania who finds her destiny in Las Vegas, where she creates a multi-million dollar clothing empire and finds happiness and heartbreak as the wife of Ash Thornton, and the daughter Sallie never had. . . Ash Thornton, whose life centers around his greatest triumph - Babylon, the magnificent casino that will lead to his downfall. . . Simon Thornton, whose search for meaning takes him to the battlefields of World War II, the trading rooms of Wall Street and finally back to Nevada where he falls in love with the wife of his rival.
Fern Michaels creates another memorable family and series of books as she did with the Texas series - "Texas Rich," "Texas Heat," "Texas Fury" and "Texas Sunrise." Michaels divides her time between New Jersey and South Carolina.
