Review

'Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to.' - Katie Fforde.

I owe her many happy hours.' - Margaret Drabble. 'A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds.' - Kate Fenton, Daily Telegraph. 'Sparkling' - Independent on Sunday. 'Georgette Heyer is unbeatable' - India Knight

1.0 out of 5 stars Did Heyer want this book published?, Mar 21 2002
By C. J. Wyckoff "cjwriterandreader" (Issaquah, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Georgette Heyer wrote so many wonderful books that I recommend you skip this one, unless you are trying to read the whole oeuvre or are a serious scholar of the progress of her writing style. It is set in medieval times (as is her unfinished and rarely read history, Lord John) and her gift for dialog and characterization seems to be lost beneath the weight of the armor. If I remember right, according to her biography, The Private World of Georgette Heyer, this book was an early effort which she did not wish to be published. Instead, go on to one of her other novels. For mysteries, I recommend Blunt Instrument or Who Killed the Butler; for romances, any of the historical ones. And if you are new to Miss Heyer's work, you have many blissful hours ahead of you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and interesting, Jul 1 2001
By K.C. Hall (Beaverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This book is a fun read because you really get into the characters and find yourself anxious to see the outcome. What also made this book even more enjoyable was to follow reading it with reading "Beauvallet" which, set in the 16th century, revisits the family that Simon the Coldheart starts.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my two all-time favorite books!, Feb 27 1999
By A Customer
(My other favorite is Charlotte's Web, by E.B.White, which is of course totally different from Simon the Coldheart!) Most of Georgette Heyer's books are set in Regency England, and she herself did not consider "Simon" to be one of her best efforts, asking that it not be re-printed. I am glad her kids got together and decided to re-print "Simon" because it is a totally unique blend of medieval life, adventure, romance, and character studies. Simon himself is a larger-than-life hero who walks straight through the front door and into the reader's memory for a lifetime! As my 10-year-old daughter observed when she read it, "Mom, I love this book! That Simon's a man and a half!"
