 Most boring Book Ever November 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is ghastly, whoever had the nerve to liken it to a Jilly Cooper book must be unable to read! It is so boring, the characters have no depth, there is just nothing there and why on earth all these Russians? I just can't see any point in the book whatsoever. I sincerely hope the author never writes another. I feel so bad wasting my money on this. I can't possibly finish it I would be bored to death! Total rubbish!! P.S. I happen to be a published author myself even though of non-fiction I still know what I'm talking about!! Please don't insult Jilly Cooper by suggesting it is anything like the wonderful books that she writes!!
 Disappointing July 29, 2008

I love this genre and was really looking forward to reading Platinum. But the concept - the hooker, the maid & the lady - is far more interesting than the execution. I found the book unoriginal and bland. The characters weren't especially distinctive, despite their vivid back-of-the-book labels, and the writing was downright dreadful in places - so much explanation of how each character was feeling that I skipped page after page at a time to get on with the story. The sex scenes lacked passion - no one does it like Bagshawe in Career Girls - and the romance between the wet Frankie and Alex never came off the page. How anyone can compare this to Jackie Collins is beyond me.
Very over-hyped - I was generous giving it 3 stars only because it was easier and more fun to read than Tasmina Perry's interminable Guilty Pleasures.
 Raunchy, gripping and great fun June 26, 2008

A great read, full of excitement and raunchy bits. You cant put it down because you just want to see what happens to each character. Well written. Cant wait for Jo's next book. I hope they make a movie of this one.
Phew, what a scorcher! - throughly recommended June 24, 2008

As a man, one of the guilty pleasures was always picking up your girlfriend's bonkbuster on a summer holiday and having a sneaky read. You soon realised what you were missing out on, good writing, unabashed entertainment, characters with the morals of skunks, but man, did they have a good time!
The best of them were pacy, raunchy and endlessly funny. Over the last decade, the fun seems to have gone out of good quality commercial women's fiction. Perfectly good books, but a lot of angst-ridden, self-obsessed heroines chasing rather drippy men who really needed a good slap. Dull, dull, dull...
Enter Jo Rees and PLATINUM, like a bullet.
Here is a sassy, sexy and rollocking-good read, full of dramatic turns and wickedly funny scenes. Thank god!
Three women - a blonde, a brunette and a redhead - it had to be - all out to get the same villain. Written with real vim and a sharp turn of phrase and nice plotting, the grande dames of this genre, better hold on to their girdles as Ms Rees is about to come roaring through.
Rees reinvents the novel for our generation and pull no punches. A real star-turn. Thoroughly recommended fun for gals and guys. A must for your summer hols.
Absolutely brilliant!!!! June 23, 2008
I loved it!!! It's the kind of book that you can't stop reading. It is really exciting and fresh. +++
