Never Leave Me by Harold Robbins
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
An uneven and intriguing book examine one man as a lecherous lout and getting away with it.
I nabbed this book due to the entrancing cover illustration. Then realized i had never read a Robbins book. So, now I have.
Approaching this book as if there is a hero in it is a mistake. The main character seems the family man, but unveils something very different along the way. That way reveals author Robbins inability to tell a good story and his ability to derail a perfectly overly simple tale with various sexual encounters that adds nothing to the book itself.
The writing is good and drew me into the mess that is written for the main character. However, the main character’s ambition to use all to achieve questionable goals in the end left me empty.
Robbins does a very good job of presenting each character. The women, particularly well defined. In more ways than one.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book: 4 out of 10 points.
