5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling! ^-^, Jul 12 2004
By A. Banaag - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Countess (Paperback)
This was my first Catherine Coulter book and I absolutley loved it! It gave me a deep, gothic-like feel to the book and I found the twists and character plots very sufficient. One thing that could've used some changes was the way the characters talked to the dog, George. I found that sort of weird. But other than that it was perfect! The sense of tension and lust between Andy and John was very romantic, but forbidding. I loved the quote from John "You see what you do to me? Jesus, it un-mans me," I found it desirable. I definatley reccomend this book. I would love it if it was adapted on screen. That would make a good movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars where the heck is the hero?, Dec 31 2001
By ricca (Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Countess (Paperback)
i know he was given a few details on the first part. but after that, he seems to have vanished completely---everything was centered on andrea and what she sees around her. i dont even know how she came to fall in love with john (no offence, but his name is simply unremarkable for someone in the regency times--i know that this isnt a basis for judgement, i just cant help expressing my opinion on that one).

the story is sadly lacking. im sorry now that it was the book i've picked up on the store since it destroyed my opinion on coulter's writing. now i'm afraid to buy another one in fear of having to read something as drab as this. dont mistake me---the suspense and sinister atmosphere was magnificently portrayed. but for the romance part....it's nil.

4.0 out of 5 stars Give it a try, Dec 15 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Countess (Paperback)
Come on. This book is great. I don't understand why people think that it (...). This book is filled with laughter and love. People in this book care about each other. I dare you to give this book a try. The beginning might be alittle boring but the book is really interesting from the middle to the end. Take the risk to read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tribute to the Gothic -- But Not Much Romance
Catherine Coulter admitted that her first book, a Regency romance, was really a "Gothic masquerading as a Regency. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Was this a romance novel?
This was my first Catherine Coulter book and I haven't tried another one. It was unique to have a book written in first-person form. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her best....
Since this is a rewrite of an earlier book, I am going to assume that Ms. Coulter has honed her writing skills as she has matured. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Coulter's Best
Normally I love Catherine Coulter, but this book was very disapointing. I read this book years ago when it was titled The Autumn Countess and remember enjoying the book. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, with a twist of danger!
I really enjoyed reading The Countess. I liked the clean relationship between Andy and John, although I would have liked to read more about John, he seemed a mystery. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars boring
I don't know what "The Autumn Countess" was like before Ms. Coulter padded it out from a Regency to a Gothic Historical, but it certainly has a lot of words in it now... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Better than sleeping pills!
I've read every Coulter novel, and this was, by far, the worst. Written in a first person narrative you miss the romance and passion of the hero panting after the heroine. Read more
