The Fame Game

I think that Jackie Collins and Rona Jaffe are two of the best writers around since they can create characters who you see so much of yourselves in. In the Fame Game, you actually thought you were an invisible person actually seeing how people rise to the top and the high price that they pay with sex, drugs, and alcohol. From Sam Leo Libra's brilliant marketing campaigns to the calm efficiency that Gerry Thompson, his secretary provided for the clients, the action never lags. You sympathized with all the characters from "Bonnie Parker" after being told her career was over as a model to the animosity when Silky Morgan, of Silky and the Satins goes from being the lead singer to the diamond in the rough star much to the anger of her four singing partners, you see that the people who seem to have everything don't always have everything. A fascinating novel.
