Vegas Rich

You will find this book hard to put down. Interesting characters, good storyline. The book is intelligently written and has great depth.

I really enjoyed reading this first in the series of three family saga books. Fern Michaels does an excellent job of pulling you into the story. It's nearly impossible to put this book down...it is packed with new dilemmas, and you can't wait to see how they turn out. I just started the second in the series, and I know I will have to read all three so I know the lives of all of these characters will turn out OK. Finally, the writing style is very easy (but interesting) to read, so you move along quickly.

Really enjoyed this book!!!!! Can't wait to read her next one- Vegas Heat. Fern Michaels always writes the kind of book you just don't want to put down. Forget doing the housework!!

The story line in Vegas Rich not only compels one to read the book non-stop, but also leaves the reader anticipating the next novel in the saga. I particularly enjoyed how Michael's weaves the diverse personalities, intricate character traits and various themes throughout several generations while maintaining a healthy balance and resistance between the "good" and "bad" characters. The tensions this creates propell one through the book, leaving no room for apathy or boredom. By the time the reader has finished the book, he/she feels like part of the family and hates to "leave". Michael's on-going theme of "family helping family" is a welcome value statement offseting the commentary of greed and self-indulgence that her "bad" characters manifest. I look forward to reading the next two books of this series.
