5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Discovery, 28 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Old Sins (Paperback)
What a wonderful day it was when I discovered this wonderful author! Old Sins was my first reading by her and I throughly enjoyed the characters and the mystery attached. Since then I have read all of Ms.Vincenzi's books with the excetion of Glimpses which I haven't seen in our bookstores and I'm eagerly awaitng my trip to Miami where I'm hoping to capture No Angel. The reviews were very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 5 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Old Sins (Paperback)
This is Penny Vincenzi's first novel and what a blockbuster it is! I read this when it first came out and I have gone on to read EVERY book that she has written. An excellent holiday read. Near the end I began to get slightly dissappointed because I thought I had sussed out what was going to happen but Penny brilliantly makes the reader think that but then comes up with something that had never entered your head so it does build up to an excellent climax after all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, 25 Mar 2008
By Mrs. Judith Lugg (Wolverhampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Old Sins (Paperback)
One of Vincenzi's best and that takes some beating because I have read and really loved ALL of her books.

This is a tale of family with all its attendant sorrows, joys, avarice, love and betrayal.

It flows along and you really do not want to leave it until you have read it all.

Please read it, especially if you have not read any of her others. I guarantee that you will love it and want to read all the rest.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible
Hated this book, from the reviews on amazon I thought that it would be better. Couldn't even finish reading it so I don't know if it got better. Only gave it one star as I had to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Older books are just as good!
I think this was published in 1987 (cant check because I have sent all three to a friend, who will then pass them on). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars once more, perfect book:-)
Even though in the beginning of the boook, the story drags out a bit, it definitely pays to continue reading, for, from then on, it takes an extreme effort to put the book down... Read more
