You don't finish a 1000 page book unless it's readable (or I don't anyway), but I was left with a bit of a "so what" feeling at the end of this. It's the tale of a ruthless business man building an empire and shagging and upsetting lots of women. There's kind of a twist, but to be honest it's so obvious it hardly counts as that, and there are lots of sections that just feel a bit unnecessary.
That said, it's often fun, that characters are pretty engaging and I now know the names of lots of fashion and cosmetic brands that were popular in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. ( )

I think this is one of the earlier books by this author. It's a bit muddled towards the end (yes, we know exactly what's happened but wait patiently for the characters to realise) and a bit dated. Some of the dilemmas could have been easily solved with DNA technology and a mobile phone (had they been invented). There's also a lot of sex involved, some of it a bit creepy.
All that aside, this is a great bonkbuster holiday novel. I would suggest starting with some of the author's other novels first though. ( )
