Advantages: The storys
Disadvantages: The sex depressing if you're singel

Ok so Jilly Cooper books are not for anyone who's prudish about sex, lets face it it's bed hopping at is best, but as books go these are great. First things first there are six books in the serise and they should be read in order Riders, Rivals, polo, The Man who made husbands jelouse, Apassionata and Score (although if you were to be pedantic you should read half of rivals the first half of polo thh second half of rivals and the seconde half of ...

...COMES I’VE GOT IT?*** The same old story here I’m afraid, in fact, after this one, I ain’t gonna use this subtitle any more.

Actually, I haven’t used that old chestnut before, so in reality, that’s a new chestnut …………… but anyway I can’t keep repeating from my other ops can I? You know how comes I came to read it don’t you? ...

Advantages: Detailed
Disadvantages: Very long. Can be confusing

I have yet to finish this book because I am finding it extremely hard to get into. There are too many characters to keep track of them, and I don't feel they are portrayed convincingly at all! The amount of underage teenage sex is disgraceful, and teachers with pupils doesn't sit well with me at all! As for a beach book, well, I hope you have strong shoulders because this book is HEAVY! If teenagers out there read this, will they be thinking it's ...
...a famous author crosses that line, but then no consequences happen. We also have teachers smoking pot and having getting with other teachers quicker than a rabbit swaps partners. Good Points Well, OK, the book has got some. Some of the characters are incredibly likeable (when you finally remember who is who). Janna Curtis doesn't exactly act as a new head would, but you like her all the same, and her neighbour Lily. The dog, Partner, is also cute. ... Read review

Advantages: fantastic story, interesting characters, easy read
Disadvantages: takes a while to get through as it is pretty long

...** The plotline of Polo heads off in so many different directions that it would be difficult to explain the gist of the story in just one paragraph. It opens with spoilt schoolgirl Perdita Macleod escaping from an exam to watch a local polo match, where we are quickly introduced to the other main players in Polo (forgive the pun) Ricky France-Lynch, Drew Benedict and Bart Alderton, and other favourites such as Seb and Dommie Carlisle (better know ...
...are so many characters in Polo that there is actually a list at the beginning of the book detailing who is who - even the animals get a mention here! Whilst the storyline mostly follows obnoxious Perdita in her quest to become the world's best woman polo player, there is plenty of other stuff happening along the way. We jump from person to person and place to place following the uber-posh game of polo - from the green idyll of the English countryside ... Read review

Advantages: Easy readying.
Disadvantages: Not as good as other Jilly Cooper books.

...into also had some secrets, Bella found herself in danger. I usually find Jilly Coopers books very romantic and sexy in places. I felt that this was lacking, only because of the nature of Bellas relationship in the first part of the book. She seemed to be avoiding passionate relationships in favour of a safe and secure relationship. She also wanted to protect her reputation as a stage actress. Whilst the book still did make a good read, I was waiting ...
...book were not happy for Bella to marry Rupert. There was opposition for different reasons. I was waiting with baited breath for Bellas secret to be revealed. It was not exactly jaw dropping, a bit of an anti-climax. There was real danger at the end of the book. I found this more difficult to follow as this stage as it was less believable. The danger came form dealings of Ruperts family in the past. Bella being his potential wife became entangled. ... Read review
