Summary: You'll want to read this book again and again.
Comment: 'Riders' is a fantastic read no matter if you've read it one or one hundred times. With every turn of a page you'll fall deeper into this wickedly funny world of showjumping horses and heroes, whether you're a horse enthusiast or not. Vengeful loathing, intense competition, unbridaled passion, and a marvelous opportunity to laugh out loud...Jilly Cooper has corraled some of the best ingredients to create a fabulous must read book!
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent and bitter
Comment: Yes, Riders is good, but I have to say it had the nastiest streak of all Jilly's Rutshire books in the bitter, never-let-up rivalry between glamorous Rupert Campbell-Black and gypsy Jake Lovell. But it's like an excellent cup of coffee in its bitterness--you want to drink it anyway. It's also her least funny of the Rutshire books--which doesn't mean it isn't laden with her wry British humor, just that the darkish story tones it down a bit. At the same time--even though it's not my favorite--I reread it compulsively, enjoying the human and animal characters, the comical and poignant encounters, the way we get to see that romance-novel romances don't always end happily ever after. And Jilly's writing style, funny, evocative, based on the rhythm of life, and all delivered with a happy ease, is pure pleasure to read. She's spoiled me for Judith Krantz forever, and Danielle Steel was never in the running. If you're ready for a beach book that manages to be both lightweight and challenging, Riders would be good.

Summary: An excellent read
Comment: I actually found Jilly Cooper by reading books by Fiona Walker(who is brilliant by the way). Jilly's books are a little hard to come by, but boy am I glad I searched...soooo worth it. Riders was a great read...don't let the length of the book intimidate you...you'll fly through it...You are with the characters through so much and for such a span of years..that by the end...you really feel as if you know them. I definitely recommend this book..also, go out and get Fiona Walker's books as well!! French Relations and Well Groomed( In that order) are my favorites of the bunch.
