4.0 out of 5 stars
Not her best but still an excellent read,
By Catherine (Gisborne, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Score! (Hardcover)
I am a big Jilly Cooper fan and was very excited to see a new book out. I found it to be a really good read and was pleased to see that Tabitha Campbell-Black was one of the main characters. It was a bit different to the others, as the second half was a murder mystery. While the killer was obvious to me pretty early on, I still found it quite scary near the end. The only thing that was disappointing was that so much time was spent on the exploits of the secondary characters and not enough on the romances between the main characters, Lucy, Tristan, Tabitha etc. However, it was still a great read. I hear her next book will be set in the art world and feature Rupert's brother. I hope it won't be too long before it's finished!

Super!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Score! (Hardcover)
I am (yet another) huge fan of Jilly Cooper's!! I absolutely adore her characters, she actually dares to make the heroes and heroines into basic humans in the sense that they can all be rather nasty! She obviously hates hypocrites and loves animals which makes her even better!! Score! is admittedly not her absolute best, but since several of her other "Rutshire-books" deserve at least a six stars, well..... The book is full of funny one-liners and passionate people. I read it really quickly at first, because I was curios to see how the whole thing ended, now I am re-reading it for the language and details! I do hope she will write more...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocre,
By A Customer
This review is from: Score (Paperback)
I am afraid I agree with the lady who said that this was rather silly, whilst I am a massive fan of Jilly Cooper and devoured the last five (Riders, Rivals, Polo, the Man who, and Appassionata)novels with relish, I was extremely disappointed at the ludicrosity of the plot.It starts off reasonably well, what with the Marriage of TABITHA CAMPBELL BLACK to her the son of her father's long time rival jake, ISA LOVELL, and the author depicts the relations between these and others well. There are some old favourites, such as Rupert, Ranaldinni and Taggie and Flora Seymour, but the author introduces a whole new array of characters and quite frankly, there are far, far too many to be getting to know properly. Once the sinister air of foul play starts creeping into the plot, this is when things start getting ridiculous. I see the author's point - to keep the readers guessing as to who the murderer is - but the climax, when we finally do find out, is so ridiculous and completely unbelievable that you are left wondering what the hell that was all about....?? The "love Story" part of this book is also completely unbelievable, there is absolutely no warmth or chemistry between the two characters involved, this book is nothing like the magic that she has written before but, nevertheless, if you're on holidays and there's nothing else around, then it does while away a couple of hours. Come on Jilly, you can do much better than that.
