I love Jackie Collins
One of the narrator's wasn't great but the rest were great. I hope audible does more Jackie Collins soon as there's very few available at the moment. Can't wait to listen to more!

Dreadful, dull and a waste of a credit
I really gave this a fair crack. I listened for about four hours before giving up. There are too many characters for whom it is hard to feel any connection, interest or sympathy. The story keeps flitting between characters without building a shred of momentum or actually moving the plot forward. With eight hours to go, it still seemed to be in the starting blocks.
Choose something else, this one is a time waster.

Extraordinary!
An extraordinary and powerful novel! Different blend of characters, with variable personalities, going through the grotesque world, on what power gives them.

Thoroughly enjoyable read!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely... A chance to escape into the world of the rich and famous. I've always avoided Jackie Collins in the past thinking that all the raunchy bits would detract from the story... how wrong I was!
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power Trip?
The siege was very exciting but I enjoyed all the characters coming together for the first time.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
First time with their narrator.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Caviar and Killing
Any additional comments?
A great introduction to Jackie Collins. I'll definitely be reading more from her.

A guilty pleasure:-)
What did you like most about The Power Trip?
I liked theglamourous outfits, the splendid locations, and the multi-ethnicity of the characters. It was also interesting to see all the old stereotypes playing out in a way that isn't offensive.
What other book might you compare The Power Trip to, and why?
I would compare this book with Judith cranthes's "Scruples" because of the amount of sex, and colourful languages used. The plot is fast and the characters air more on the fantastic than realistic. though I'm afraid "Scruples isn't on audible. It could also be compared with Louise Bagshawe's "desire" though I feel that desire is a better researched book.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
It was nice to hear different voices narrating the story as it fleshed out the characters more. I thought some of the narators were good but I feel that the accents were not necesarily authentic.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were more thrilling moments than moving moments as the characters were mostly dareing in the pursuit for pleasure or wealth.
Any additional comments?
This book is movie worthy, and great for entertainment. In order to enjoy yourself, it's best not to think too logically as there are certain aspects of the book that might appear unbelievable. A billionaire like Alexander Kasanyenko is likely to have better security on his Yacht such as sensors and self defence bullets that shoot any boats that approach with out warning. The Pirate invasion could have been a little more action packed. Jackie should research more on modern technology in order to write a more convincing thriller. Still, I'm a great fan of her ideas but they need fleshing out a bit more. I would highly recommend it because once you start reading, you just can't stop till you're finished!

Brilliant!
I loved this brilliant book by Jackie Collins! Sheer entertainment, from start to finish. It was a wonderful idea to employ several narrators, including Jackie Collins herself, as it gives a lovely, individual flavour to each character and really drew me into the story, keeping my attention until the end. For sheer, unadulterated, feet up Audible listening with a good cup of tea and a few delicious biscuits to hand, The Power Trip, is worth every penny!! Thank you, Jackie Collins and Audible!

Great Story. Dodgy narration.
Jackie is always a bit of a guilty pleasure for me and this was no exception. I didn’t understand the thinking behind different narrators. The changeover felt jarring. The young woman especially did not make a convincing male. Her reading of Alex was borderline comical. And Tai had three different accents depending on who was reading him. He sounded like a country bumpkin farm boy when the young woman read him. Loved the story though.

Jackie's Characters Jump Off The Page (or boat!)
Incredible how a large cast of characters are so distinct. The narration is fun and enjoyable and the glitzy story is all about the very enjoyable journey.
