Product Description

Product Description

Sir Roberto Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce his ravishing nineteen-year-old stepdaughter, Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdi's darkest opera, Don Carlos.

As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent fewuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone wished Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro would be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some very bizarre things would continue to occur.

SCORE! is Jilly Cooper's most thrilling novel to date. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, Nov 7 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Score! (Paperback)
I am afraid I agree with the lady who said that this was rather silly, whilst I am a massive fan of Jilly Cooper and devoured the last five (Riders, Rivals, Polo, the Man who, and Appassionata)novels with relish, I was extremely disappointed at the ludicrosity of the plot.
It starts off reasonably well, what with the Marriage of TABITHA CAMPBELL BLACK to her the son of her father's long time rival jake, ISA LOVELL, and the author depicts the relations between these and others well. There are some old favourites, such as Rupert, Ranaldinni and Taggie and Flora Seymour, but the author introduces a whole new array of characters and quite frankly, there are far, far too many to be getting to know properly.

Once the sinister air of foul play starts creeping into the plot, this is when things start getting ridiculous. I see the author's point - to keep the readers guessing as to who the murderer is - but the climax, when we finally do find out, is so ridiculous and completely unbelievable that you are left wondering what the hell that was all about....??

The "love Story" part of this book is also completely unbelievable, there is absolutely no warmth or chemistry between the two characters involved, this book is nothing like the magic that she has written before but, nevertheless, if you're on holidays and there's nothing else around, then it does while away a couple of hours.

Come on Jilly, you can do much better than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!!, Aug 31 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Score! (Paperback)
I have read nearly every Jilly Cooper novel and I was slightly upset by the unfavourable reviews. While this book is different to Riders and Polo, it is still an excellent read. It is witty, wise, and great fun. Even if it is slightly unbelievable at times, I think it is wonderful. The characters are fantastic and i hope that one day i will be able to write such an exciting novel.
