A short, witty book poking fun, and a little bit more, at the rich. The main character is a gold-digging womanizer, but as he chases his newest conquest from London, to Greece, to Tennessee, he begins to reflect on his behaviors.

A bit dated but overall enjoyable, gets better in the second half.

Utterly boring. I gave up after reading almost half of the book
I couldn't care less about the main characters, Ronnie and Simona.
Both of them are shallow and unpleasant.

Left me cold as I found it really badly dated, unfunny and quite boring at times.
