This was just awful...
22 April 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read other books by Robbins and the Predators was just awful! Not only was this book pointless, but the ending was SO DISAPPOINTING that I couldn't believe that it got published in the 1st place!!!! The only reason I gave this even 1 star was that the beginning of the book was interesting. Which is why I was so disappointed in the final product...

One of the best books by missed author Harold Robbins
5 Feb 2000
Format:Hardcover
When I discovered the books by Harold Robbins I joined a world unlike any other I've seen till then. The world of bussiness, fame, fortune, losing everything, the dealing with the defeat, sex, sex, sex. At first sight, I was mesmerized and shocked with such books. Reading them I learned things I'd never even imagined. And when I started reading THE PREDATORS, I knew the real Harold Robbins. It's a book full of emotions, feelings and the odds of these things. Of course, with more sex than in any other of his books. If you like that kind of books, read this one. THE PREDATORS is the kind of book you should read on a Sunday afternoon, when you have time to enjoy yourself and have nothing much else to do except have fun. Nothing's perfect, and this book is not, 'cause the end lacks a little in criativity. But who cares when all your main reason to read these books is have fun?

A Crude Stew of Sex & Money
7 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
Within the first few pages of Harold Robbins's latest and final novel -- completed shortly before his death -- his hero, Jerry Cooper, has lost both parents in a car wreck and has had a steamy sexual encounter with a girl downstairs.
The Predators keeps up this breathless pace, tracking Cooper from Manhattan, where he works for his uncle, a small-time crook, to Paris during World War II. There, Cooper gets involved with a Corsican gangster who traffics in smuggled cars. Robbins doesn't waste time on niceties of style or subtleties of characterization as he follows Cooper's rise to power and respect-ability.
There's something quaintly old-fashioned about this no-frills potboiler and something distasteful in its tired, one-dimensional takes on homosexuals, African-Americans and endlessly compliant women.
