5.0 out of 5 stars A little gem! 27 Sep 2011
By pennywhistle
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This novel may not have been what I was expecting, but it was a real pleasure to read. Based on George and the Dragon tales we all knew as a child, the author has cleverly created a world where people from today and from the middle ages interact, with delicate humour throughout the book, making it hard not to like the key characters. And the blend of ancient and modern language and lifestyles was seamless.

A whimsical tale which is thoroughly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too comic book-like... 6 Sep 2002
By Debra Nesbitt
Format:Mass Market Paperback
George & the virgin is an enjoyable read. Although the plot reminds me of something out of a comic book, the writting is well done and some of the situations are hilarious. The scenes where George thinks the virgin ghosts are out to get him always brought a smile to my face.

All in all a very well written book, and although this particular novel by Lisa Cach wasn't exactly what I was looking for, I will be looking at other books by her.

4.0 out of 5 stars A romantic comedy that is actually funny!! 6 Dec 2002
By BarkLessWagMore - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was (and probably still am) pretty much burned out on romantic comedies when I picked up this book for my local romance readers group. Though it sounded funny and the reviews were positive I figured I'd end up disappointed by the end. Boy, was I wrong!

George & The Virgin is a time travel/fantasy that begins somewhere in the Middle Ages (the period remains sketchy) in a small village filled with superstitious weaklings who sacrifice one of their virgin daughters to the local dragon once each year (because they're apparently too pathetic and spineless to face him down themselves). As the story begins Alizon (a 14 yr old virgin) is desperately trying to rid herself of her virginity with a loathsome and clueless boy in order to avoid becoming the dragon's next dinner. The scene is quite bawdy and funny and shows that Alizon is strong willed and very mouthy.

George, the hero of the story, lives in modern times. He's a professional wrestler for a foundation similar to the WWE (or whatever they're calling themselves these days) and is sent back to Alizon's time by his new age sister. George has always fantasized about slaying a dragon and now his dreams are coming true. Unfortunately, poor George isn't quite up to task and faces quite a few mishaps during his adventure.

I turned the pages eagerly but must admit that midway the author began to lose me a bit and the story seemed to drag (too much padding, maybe?). Still, I give this one a high recommendation. George was a great guy possessing lots of heart, self-doubt and he even had a conscience! Alizon was a bit on the prickly side but she had plenty of reasons. I can easily recommend this to someone looking for a break from the same-old plotlines filling the bookshelves. It's over-the-top fun and sexy too. What more do you need on a boring snowy night?

5.0 out of 5 stars Six stars please. 24 Jun 2002
By Flush Barrett-Browning - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm not a professional reviewer and my views are entirely my own; that said, could I please give GEORGE AND THE VIRGIN more than five stars? This is a charming, very clever little book. The protagonists are likeable, the plot is simple but fun, and the humor often unexpected. This is one for my keeper list. It's for those days when the carpool has run late and my mother-in-law drops in for supper. But can we PLEASE do something about the dumb cover?

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Little Story 27 Jun 2002
By mayfayre - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A scenario that I intially thought was quite odd, that of a modern-day American professional wrestler magically transported to medieval England, surprisingly works quite well. This is due to the fact that the author has made the characters totally human and realistic, rather than caricatures. The dialogue is sharp and funny, the situations both humorous and heart-breaking, the romance sexy and amusing, the writing deft. These are characters you take to your heart: George, a man who is so much more than the cartoonish image of a professional wrestler; Alizon, a girl forced to take charge of her life earlier than anyone should; Pippa, who's death would have been a sorry loss; Reyne, a living lesson of the results of superstition. George's initial belief that what was happening to him was just a dream induced by a hypnotherapy session with his sister, and his subsequent attempts to psychoanalyze the meaning of it all was hilarious. Be prepared to keep reading once you start this book!
