Product Description
Scruples, Judith Krantz's electrifying, world wide bestseller appeared fifteen years ago and made book publishing history. Now that unforgettable story, a story that marks an era, a story that millions of readers wish had never ended . . . continues. Only a single night's sleep seperates the lives of the characters in Scruples from this mesmerizing sequel. Billy Ikehorn is a contemporary woman living on a grand scale. A self-made beauty and the exquisite owner of a fabled Beverley Hills boutique called Scruples and married to the Oscar-winning producer Vito Orsini. To those who only know her from afar, she seems to lead a dream existence, wrapped in all the power of glamout, riches, and success. Then a stranger arrives in Billy's life--Gigi Orsini, Vito's sixteen-year-old daughter by an early marriage. Independent, deeply interesting, street-smart, and enchantingly humorous, Gigi captures Billy's heart and sets in motion a train of utterly unexpected events. Life with Gigi hold both joy and pain for Spider Elliot and Valentine O'Neill, Billy's partners in Scruples. The many new freinds Gigi makes during the next five years will grow important to Billy in ways she could never have forseen. Scruples Two moves swiflty and unexpectadly, filled with breathtaking change, from California to New York to Paris, following two of the most fascinating and touching females in modern fiction, Billy Ikehorn and Gigi Orsini.

Format:Paperback
Think how a Harry Potter fan would feel, if, in the last episode, Harry was revealed to have been in cahoots with Valdemort all along. It just doesn't work, does it? Same here. Not content with destroying her most attractive and engaging character, along with the store, Kranz proceeds to contradict at least two fundamental statements made in the original book, in which the reader must believe, if the story is to have a satisfying conclusion. If she had to have a sequel, it could have been done without resorting to such literary butchery. The original "Scruples" isn't great literature, but it deserves better than this.

I purchased four books from the Amazon-Market seller, and was charged an extraordinary postage for each book...... I even recieved two in the same package???????
I had searched high and low for these books,and had to head overseas for copies, after the shock of the postage costs, I really enjoyed turning back the clock and re-reading these 70's/80's classic reads whilst on a beach holiday. Highly recommended and Great fun, for light reading whilst on the beach, the other books where Lace 1 & 2 and of course, the original 'Scruples... Still love my Jackie Collins novels for holidays though.

Hooked on Krantz
25 May 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first read this book around age 15, and it has impacted my life more than a piece of commercial fiction should: so much that I studied abroad in Paris to be like Billy Ikehorn! This book is a delicious read, rife with beautiful people and amazing locations. Krantz does a wonderful job of creating believable, delightful characters, and her command of setting and plot is no less. Though a lot of people may dismiss this book (and her others, which are also wonderful) as "sex and shopping," "commerical fiction," or "an embossed cover read," Judith Krantz is a very good writer. So many commercial books are poorly written, so the plot (which may be good) drowns underneath pedantic language. Not so with Scruples Two! Krantz is a Wellesly grad, which may have something to do with that. I've given this to some of my friends and we all love it, even having been English majors who read some pretty heavy lit. Buy this book, it's sure to delight!

Takes you back to the 80's

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book & the one before it takes you back...they are fun reads. I enjoyed the follow up with the characters & dare to say it was just as good, if not better than the original

The pleasure keeps on coming
30 Dec 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am a huge Judith Krantz fan mostly because of this series. The characters she created in Scruples only come more alive in this book. The addition of the new charachters only make the story more interesting. Krantz has done a fabulous job of creating a sequel. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time and you won't want to put it down. Gigi will be your new best friend and you can only love Billy and Spider more after the heartache they go through. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in reading Krantz. Of course I would recommend reading the whole series from start to finish. Scruples and Scruples Two take the cake, but Lovers is also a great follow up.
