I await each Jilly Cooper book with great excitement. I love the pure escapism of her too good/too bad to be true characters. I love her witty turn of phrase. It takes a lot to get me to laugh out loud and she has accomplished it before. . .not this time however. I actually forgot, several times, I was reading this book--it was boring, the characters annoying and the premise unoriginal. I strongly recommend you not waste your time--go back and review Rupert/Billy the early days.

This is a marvellous work of erotica, with no shortage of romantic gratification. I won't give away the details of the intricate story line, but you can rest assured that Pandora 'opens her box' on more than one occasion.

As a long-time fan of Jilly Cooper's, I eagerly await each new effort. Pandora does not live up tp its predecessors at all. I found the book lacked the wit which abounds in her other novels; the chief problem in the novel is not the recovery of stolen art work, but the attempts of several characters(none of whom is very memorable) to carry on romance while avoiding incest! Many problems are left hanging, too many loose ends are not tidied up.Better luck next time!

Jilly Coopers book Pandora is a very good read, set in the world of international art dealing with a mystery suspense plot woven in. She has a lot of new characters as well as favorites like Rupert Campbell-Black now a respectable race horse trainer and businessman. I liked this book and would recommend it to anyone who likes a light read for bedtime or weekend relaxing.
