Title: Gold Coast: Perfect on my Maui Vacation
Review: Nelson DeMille's Long Island swan song to lifestyles of the rich and decadent is an excellent beach read. A Gatsby companion, hardly. Successful at capturing a few moments in time of the late eighties and providing a sense of place, DeMille's "Gold Coast" is a nice diversion and entertaining. It is not great literature; some characters come to life through his exposition, some simply ride on their horses, and some just walk alone, to borrow from Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. It filled hours in the sun on Maui for me; however, there is a lighter tanned spot on my chest where the book lay when I napped between reads!
