5.0 out of 5 stars Defintely risk reading this one!, 8 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: A Risk Worth Taking (Paperback)
A risk worth taking by Robin Pilcher is written so that the reader will be hooked ~ reading it from the beginning to end, with the only stops being for making another cup of something and a pee!

An interesting plot line using factual information but with the usual feel-good factor as is common in Robin's other novels.

The writing makes it very easy to visualise the scenary and the scenarios, with the characters becoming friends very quickly.

As a fan of Rosamund Pilcher, initially I was wary of Robin's writing. Now I think that although you can see the family similarity, he has moved her style of writing on a pace and added his own identity and personality. His introduction of his character's business dilemmas just adds to the interest and plot lines.

If you like Rosamund Pilcher, Marcia Willets, Maeve Binchy and the like - then you will love this!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book, 31 Mar 2008
By Jane Watson (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly enjoyed this book - it was well written - the story moved on apace and you felt drawn to the characters and liked them. Robin Pilcher may not win any major awards with these books but for a really warm, friendly read, they are hard to beat! The description is good and you felt you were with the characters in the different places and feeling what they felt. Naturally as a Scot I enjoy books written and set in Scotland, so please keep it up Robin!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too risky
A good holiday read which stays with you for a while but not very different from other holiday reads. Pilcher writes gently though he evokes emotional forces. Read more
