5.0 out of 5 stars Another lost weekend ..., 20 Mar 2005
By Booklover (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sheer Abandon (Hardcover)
Whenever a new Penny Vincenzi comes out I lose a weekend, totally engrossed in it and the good news is she's done it again.

As usual the plot twists and turns with a mystery at its heart; the fact that I correctly solved the mystery this time by a quarter the way through in no way spoilt my enjoyment. Finding out if I was right and how it would unfold made for compelling reading.

Lovely intelligent froth and right on form. May you live and write to be 100, Panny.

5.0 out of 5 stars SHEER ABANDON - OF ALL YOUR HOUSEWORK!!!!!!!, 16 Jun 2006
By Julie Holt "juuuuuuuu" (West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sheer Abandon (Paperback)
I have seen all the negative reviews of this novel and felt I just had to review it to redress the balance. I have read every Penny Vincenzi book right from her brilliant first novel OLD SINS and this book did not disappoint either. I have recently read a few books that didn't seem up to my normal standard and become a bit bored and so I really needed something good to get my teeth into. I bought this book and, as I usually do just before I start a book, I read the Amazon reviews. I couldn't believe there were so many people who didn't enjoy it that much but Penny's previous reputation as an author reigned supreme and the reviews didn't put me off so I started the book. I had 2 days off work at the time and the weather was wonderful so all I did was sit out in the garden and read and didn't do much else for the next few days. The book was so easy to get into with characters you really care about. It was soon unputdownable. Some people have said it was too long but I didn't find it so-I think it was just right-any briefer and there wouldn't be enough detail but it didn't ramble at all the pace was just right. A real holiday read. Excellent

1.0 out of 5 stars SHEER ABANDON, 23 Jun 2007
By M. A. Mallam "maryhinge" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sheer Abandon (Paperback)
I have read all Penny's books and loved them all but this one. Normally her books leave me not wanting to put them down but unfurtunately I found this hard to pick up.I think it was plainly obvious from the onset who the father was and found the book quite boring. About to start on her latest novel hope she is back on form.
