5.0 out of 5 stars If you liked Riders, you will like Players!, July 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Players (Paperback)

Players continues on where Riders left off. Rupert Cambell Black is back and is trying to buy a t.v. station. Fun to read to find out what happened to that group after Riders. Does not have Fen, Jake. or Tory in it. Even if you just read Riders for the horses, you will probably like Players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sequel to "Riders", also published as "Rivals", August 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Players (Paperback)

Note that this book was published in the UK under the name "Rivals." I loved it. It was as much fun as "Riders" and Rupert Campbell Black the businessman was more attractive than ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Definite Re-Read, February 5, 2004

Martha Green (Lakeville, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Players (Paperback)

I adore this book! In fact, I have purchased several copies because everyone who borrows a copy claims to have returned it.

Players (Rivals in Great Britain) is full of amazingly quirky people. They are always broke, regardles of how much money they have. They smoke and drink too much and fall into bed too often, ususally with the WRONG person.

Jilly Cooper creates characters that I would love to know! They are witty, passionate and ring very true. The fully-drawn characers cover the social strata of contemporary Great Britain. As Margaret Mitchel made all of her peripheral characters interesting in "Gone With the Wind" so too does Jilly Cooper.

Buy this book. Devour it. Don't lend it out.
