Do you like collaborations?

Missfortunes_2I want to read The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes by Jenny Crusie, Eileen Dyer and Anne Stuart, I really do – supernatural chick lit’s my favourite - but I’m wary of collaborations. I tried Come Again by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees but didn’t get past the first chapter and the last James Patterson collaboration I read was the worst thriller I’ve ever read (I can’t remember the name – it was so bad I threw it away). I didn’t even finish the Crusie/Bob Mayer collaboration Don’t Look Down – the characters just didn’t have their usual Crusieness.

I know Keris loved The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes so I’ll put my wariness aside and give it a go. If nothing else it will be a pleasure to look at – that’s one beautiful cover!

What do you think of collaborations?

    Nicola, you won&#39t regret reading Miss Fortunes. :) It really is a fun book.



    Keris, I was able to listen to the audio book of Agnes. (A rental from the library.)It was really cool. Soon I&#39ll splurge on the HB version.

  • Okay, I&#39ll definitely give the Miss Fortunes a go.

  • Oh Holly, you&#39ve read Agnes? I&#39m so envious! I really must get it soon.

    I&#39m wary of collaborations too, but since Jennifer Crusie is one of my favorite authors, I decided to give her collaborations a chance. Don&#39t Look Down wasn&#39t the best book I&#39ve read, though it wasn&#39t horrible. I think for a first-time collaboration its quite good. I do have to say that The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes and Agnes & the Hitman (Crusie&#39s latest work with Bob Meyer) are fantastic. (I especially love Agnes.) I think collaborations can be fantastic as long as the authors, editors, etc get together and make sure that the book isn&#39t just thrown together.

    I am with you, I dislike collaborations. I have read several and just haven&#39t found any to be outstanding.
