stupid ending

I listened to the whole thing thinking all the gratuitous sex and drug use was leading to something.... I should have known better with a Robbins book. My bad. With that said the narrator was awesome.

Dry Mouth

Barbara Rosenblat's swallows can be heard throughout the reading. Although her voice is a good fit for the story, it often sounds like she needs water to eliminate the smacking.

Any additional comments?

I had read almost all of Harold Robbins when I was a teenager, I would get them out of the trash after my mom finished. I was excited to see these books on Audible, but this one, was pure trash, I did not like any of the characters and I did not care what happened to them, I think Jeanette's mom died just to get out of the story. This story like some of the others, that Mr. Robbins had written, has no redeeming values

Porn, violent sex

I love Barbara Rosenblat but this is a dirty disgusting novel. You don’t need tons of violent sex to support the story. I couldn’t finish.

X-RATED

Very disappointed. I love Robbins' mind. The storyline, suspense and intrigue was not enough to get me through the graphic sexual tyraids. No matter he had the "best in the business" narrator, It's not my kind of book.

Goodbye Janette

Most critics dismissed Harold Robbins as a poor writer, but he was good at creating readable stories that were usually based on real people and real situations. Goodbye Janette is a window into the world of the Eurotrash. The characters are unpleasant, but many people are. I really liked the novel. The narrator is talented, but her harsh New York accent seems inappropriate to this particular story.

Goodbye Janette

I loved listening to this book more then I did when I read it years ago...
