Product Description
Product Description
Joan Collins' dazzling first novel is a juicy tale of sex and revenge. Actress and singer Chloe Carriere has been up and down the celebrity ladder for more than 25 years but when a prime opportunity for superstardom arises she finds herself taking part in the most breathtaking battle since the search for Scarlett O'Hara. Offscreen, a more personal conflict takes place as Chloe wonders whether her partner will ever stop playing away from home. Bitter rivalry, infidelity and a smouldering casting couch are the compelling ingredients of this sizzling tale.

Watery, without depth and full of the most dire cheesy corn! Poorly written and predictable, this effort is disturbingly gutless. Not for the fully grown woman. If you have a late teen/early 20's girl in the family looking for a trashy beach book, then this would probably do the trick, otherise its not worth the wood pulp the paper is made of. Please dont waste you pennies on this one ladies - stick to Jilly Cooper or Louise Bagshawe.

Couldn't put this one down. Not very orginal but very funny and very filthy. Fairly obvious who the heroine has been modelled on. Confident debut from Collins. Perfect holiday reading. Not aspiring to be great literature and more entertaining because of it.

Glitzy & fun.
10 Nov 2002
Format:Hardcover
Corruption, Lust, Sex, Betrayal . . . This book has it all.
The story of five acresses & their struggle for one star part. Joan Collins' novel is a glimpse at the lives of ambitious young women and their hunger for success.
Set against a background of great wealth, luxurious homes, yachts etc.
An enjoyable book. A non-stop page-turner.

PURE ESCAPISM
4 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
Joan Collins can put novelist to her resume now with this page-turner of the rich and rotten. Her brochette of characters are a likable bunch, as they suffer and suffer during the making of a nightime soap opera. And bubbles sure do float in this glossy, effective novel. Collins's prose is sharp, witty and wicked, with a fast-moving plot and glamorous descriptions of clothing, sexual escapades, champagne and caviar parties--all the right ingredients for making PRIME TIME a one sitting read. Yes, glitter is her game, but can you really expect anything else from the queen of television's melodrama herself ?-----Martin Boucher
"AM I CRAZY, OR DOES THIS BOOK HAVE DIFFERENT VERSIONS!"
6 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
I HAVE AT LEAST 3 COPIES OF THIS BOOK. THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS A PAPERBACK COPY. THE SECOND TIME I PURCHASED IT, I BELIEVE IT WAS ON A CLEARANCE TABLE IN A BOOKSTORE. THEN RECENTLY I BOUGHT IT AGAIN, FOR $.50 AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY WHERE I LIVE. I READ THIS BOOK YEARS AGO. BUT I REMEMBER THE PAPERBACK BEING A BIT HARD TO READ. BUT THEN I HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THE SECOND COPY. I FOUND IT TO BE A VERY PLEASANT READ. BUT THEN FOR SOME REASON THE THIRD COPY I OWN IS EVEN BETTER. AM I READING DIFFERENT VERSIONS OR AM I JUST ENJOYING THE BOOK NOW? I REMEMBER WHEN THIS BOOK FIRST HIT THE SHELVES. DYNASTY WAS OVER AND I WAS LEFT WITH: WHAT AM I GOING TO REPLACE IT WITH! BY THE END OF THE "1990'S" JOAN HAD ONLY WRITTEN ABOUT 3 NOVELS. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS EITHER PERTAINING TO "BEAUTY" OR AN UPDATE ON HER FIRST AUTOBIOGRAPHY. EVENTHOUGH I WANTED MORE MATERIAL WRITTEN BY JOAN COLLINS, I WOUND UP READING "JACKIE'S" BOOKS BECAUSE I HAD READ EVERYTHING AVAILABLE BY JOAN. "PRIME TIME" IS EVEN BETTER NOW. I AM REDISCOVERYING IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS BOOK IS EVEN BETTER THAN I REMEMBER. I MAY JUST DIG UP THE REST OF HER NOVELS AND READ THOSE OVER TOO. BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
