Review

""Polo" is the best thing she's every done"
-Lynda Lee-Potter, "Daily Mail"
"Compulsively readable and funny...the irrepressible Jilly remains irresistible"
-Joseph Connolly, "The Times"
"The world of smart women, handsome army officers, romantic school girls, lustful grooms, insecure wives... they have fire in their bellies (and generally in their groins too) and a massive appetite for life"
-Nicholas Coleridge, "Sunday Times"

5.0�toiles sur 5 A "10 goal" story!, Mars 29 2001

Par	B. Carrington (Connecticut) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Polo (Paperback)

Enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining! Cooper's characters are colorful and fresh, and stay that way until the very end. I also applaud her ability to weave her story from a sport that very few know much about. For those that are new to the game, polo (the sport) is a true drama; not only of egoes and money, but more importantly of horse lovers(wealthy or not). It is a drama that Cooper manages to credibly capture; not only from the sidelines, but from those involved on the field as well(players, grooms and patrons). Jilly you most certainly did your homework! As warm weather comes, Polo is one of those books you may find yourself reading each summer again and again. Humor, romance, tradgedy, and action. There is something in it for everyone.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Polled Over!, Mars 12 2001

Par	Annette Broomfield (London, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Polo (Paperback)

Polo comes after Riders and Rivals. It maintains the same backdrop and high flying jet setting lifestyle. Cooper maintains the humour and raunchy goings on as her last novels. However, the main character of Polo is Perdita, with whom I gradually began to loathe.

However, Polo is good escapism, with some really good twists and turns in the plot. I have always felt that some of Cooper's dialogue was contrived, and this marred my enjoyment of one of the best scenes towards the end of the book.

It's an enjoyable read

5.0�toiles sur 5 Laugh all the way through, D�c 17 2000

Par	A. Woodley "Patroness, Janeites, the Austen list" (New Zealand) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Polo (Paperback)

The third in the series of Jilly Cooper's wonderfully hilarious Campbell-Black books - although this is the one in which things really depart quite markedly from Rupert Campbell-Black's life and he becomes a bit player in everyone elses story.

Like all other books in the series the plot is set around one theme - in this case Polo. The main characters are Ricky France-Lynch, fabulous but moody English Polo-Playing star, and Perdita Macleod- the stroppy young English school-girl who longs for Ricky almost as much as she longs to play polo. Their stories and those of dozens of other hugely likeable and wildly flawed characters interweave in wonderfully satisfying and hilarious story. No one in is perfect in Jilly Cooper world - which makes for great reading.

You don't really have to have read the first two books in the series to know what is going on here. Most of the characters are new and this is a whole new plot so you really won't have missed out on much. The few characters that to turn up again are explained briefly anyway. However, if you haven't already read Riders or Rivals, the first two books in this series, then get thee to a library.

"Riders" was my first introduction to Jilly Cooper as a horse-crazed teenager, but since then I've enjoyed most of her books, not just the horsey ones. Read more

2.0�toiles sur 5 One shouldn't expect much from a "guilty pleasure" novel.
Even in the context of trash wallow, beach books, guilty pleasures, or glitz and glamor novels, _Polo_ stands out as much worse than the average of its type. Read more
