1.0 out of 5 stars Dick Francis can rest easy on his throne., Mar 4 2001
By C. Gilbert "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stud Poker (Paperback)
The cover blurb for the book suggested that Dick Francis should move over because Francome is serious competition.

As if.

While the writer clearly knows what he's on about when it comes to racing, he seems to have never bothered to learn the basics of plot. There's pretty much everything I hate in a detective novel thrown in here, from hokey writing to gratuitous sex scenes.

Take a miss on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, strange and not up to other Francome books, Nov 4 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stud Poker (Paperback)
This is the 5th book by John Francome that I have read. I was extremely disappointed in it. It is fragmented, confusing and a little wierd. The story does not carry you along and I had to force myself to finish it, in the hope that it would get better. It didn't. His other books have been entertaining and good reading, esp. "Outsider". Dick Francis has been one of my favorite authors for many years and I have hopes that Francome will go back to good stories with good characters and have the kind of career that Mr. Francis has had.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just average - easy to put down., Mar 1 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stud Poker (Paperback)
This is the first book I've read by John Francome. The story is only for someone who loves the world of horses and horseracing! The author is English so there were lots of expressions that were lost on me. Also, I felt there were too many characters introduced and while it was intriguing in the beginning - it was hard to believe/understand how they fit together in the end.
