  • Great read for my 21year-old daughter
It’s a good book it’s an interesting read. It was the first novel I read as a young person so I repeated it. Hopefully my daughter will fall in love with reading and then I got the second book to make sure that she can read that too. Thanks Miss Krantz for great reads over the years!

  • They don't write them like this anymore
"Scruples" was my final beach read for the summer of 2007. Does that mean I won't be reading anymore light fiction for the rest of the year? No, it just means that summer is over. I've never been deeply fascinated by the lives of the wealthy, but "Scruples" makes it look like a lot of fun. Judith Krantz's novel is almost thirty years old now, (this was one of the books that kids in the 70s and 80s would sneak peeks at while adults weren't looking) so how does it hold up? Very, very well. I admit I was a little reluctant when I started the book because I initially found Krantz's style overly wordy, but once I got into it I was won over and Krantz held my attention the entire time. And I wasn't just a passive reader; to my surprise, I learned things too. The sections describing Paris couture are interesting and I liked how Krantz laid out the entire process without once making it boring. Krantz (whose husband was a producer) also goes in-depth into Hollywood and deglamorizes the film industry so that we, along with Billy, are treated to the tediousness of the on-location process. Let's not forget the process of building up "Scruples" which is written with such flair that the excitement is infectious. The characters in the novel are well developed, though I tended to enjoy the supporting characters more than the main ones. I had a hard time accepting that Billy was only in her mid-thirties. She seemed much older but maybe that was the point. I enjoyed Spider and Valentine at first but neither came alive so that by the end of the book, my interest in them had waned. I think this is because Krantz spends so much time on the movie business toward the end that Spider and Valentine fall into the background. When they re-emerge, I had discovered characters like Dolly Moon and Vito whom I enjoyed a lot more. Great fun, great read. ... show more

  • Still good after all these years
I read this after seeing the TV movie it was based on. All these years later, I enjoyed reading it again. It has great characters, plots and subplots. While dated in some areas, it is still very entertaining.

  • Interesting characters
Judith Krantz has to be the most vulgar female author that I have ever read. Who ever told her that using the crudest, most ugly description of female genitalia was acceptable played a cruel joke on her

  • Entertaining. A great escape read!
I first read this book decades ago when it was first published. It was a great summer page-turner and, when I discovered I’d left my copy behind while staying out of town, I immediately bought a second copy so I could finish it right away! When I read of the recent passing of Judith Krantz, I knew I wanted to immerse myself in Scruples again this summer. What fun and a nice memory of a very fun summer long ago... ... show more

  • Fascinating!
Fascinating story of a woman and her loves and her rise via creating a fabulous store in Los Angeles!

  • Still The Same
I first read this novel in 1978, when I was nineteen years old. I'm now sixty three and it still has the power to enthrall me...although I have to admit that it IS dated. The world has changed so much in the past forty three years that I don't remember half of the celebrities mentioned. There are also quite a few typos, grammatical errors and some sentences that didn't make sense. But, all in all, a good story!!! ... show more

  • BEVERLY HILLS GLITZ & GLAM
👍: three compelling main characters, intersecting plot lines, insights into the film industry and the world of high fashion. 👎: a few too many minor characters, endlessly rambling descriptions that devolve into tedious tangents. The trademark trashy sex scenes would make even Lady Gaga blush. 😍 That said, I couldn't put it down, always curious as to how Billy would orchestrate her next move in the world of wealth, power, & haute couture. ... show more
