4.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner in the 6 Sisters Series, October 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Taming of Annabelle (Hardcover)

Poor Annabelle!! She is young, vain and thinks herself desperately in love with Sylvester, her older sister Minerva's fiance. Her plan to marry the handsome Peter, Marquess of Brabington, who is Sylvester's best friend, is the premise for this charming second novel of Chesney's Six Sisters series. Chesney's comic characters and wry analyses of human foibles keep this story rolling along to a happy climax. The best fiction is when characters evolve and grow, and Chesney leads Annabelle on a merry chase before she matures into an admirable heroine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Minerva and Sylvster stoled the show..., July 16, 2010

This review is from: The Taming of Annabelle (Mass Market Paperback)

2.5 stars. I enjoyed the first half of this book because Minerva and Sylvester from the last book was apart of the plot. Annabelle the heroine was too anti-heroine and did not have any likable characteristics. I actually like it when the heroine is not perfect and is realistic with a flawed personality but I also want her to have a few redeeming qualities so that the reader can still root for her, and it was extremely hard to do that with Annabelle.

3.0 out of 5 stars A TIRESOME HEROINE, April 22, 2007

This review is from: The Taming of Annabelle (Mass Market Paperback)

I was getting very impatient with Annabelle been such a spoiled, immature, inconsiderate, and vicious 17-year old young miss through good half of the book. I kept hoping some of her better self would emerge, or have someone clobber her on the head instead, but none happened until the end. She really reminded me of the girl in the b & w movie "The Bad Seed". But once Annabelle got her comeuppance it was a great satisfaction indeed. Aside from the heroine's unattractive personality, I did enjoy the part about how Annabelle's father, the vicar, and the squire tried to track down the villain, I thought it was very lively written.
