5.0 out of 5 stars The First of Jilly, certainly not the last...., Feb 23 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rivals (Paperback)

I first heard of Jilly, when I bought the book Apassionata at a second-hand store. I started to read it but found out that many of the characters in this story, were in her earlier books. I decided to buy all her books written before Apassionata. I wanted to read them in order. Unfortunately, Rivals (which by the way is the same book as "Players")came first and I could not resist. I started reading and could not stop. This is a first for me because I am the type of person that has to be reading 3 books at one time. With Rival, I tried picking up other books to read but could not concentrate on them. It was awesome. Unlike other reviewers, I won't give the plot away but I will tell you that the book is about 4 men vying for control of the British Televison Franchise. The villain in this book is Tony and his 3 adversaries are Declan, Rupert and Freddie. Of course the book has the usual love triangle, backstabbing and name dropping as in other books of this nature but Jilly has the awesome talent of either making you like or hate a character, no in betweens. The book up wraps up very nicely at the the end and who does not like a happy ending? Can't wait to read her other books. Way to go Jilly............

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, Aug 27 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rivals (Paperback)

I have read many of Jilly Cooper's novels, and all of the six books in this series. Rivals is absolutely the best. No matter how many times I read it, I still can't put it down. The characters are so well-rounded, and Cooper has perfectly captured the essence and beauty of the English countryside, which provides a stunning backdrop for this brilliant story.
