4.0 out of 5 stars the story continues..., 6 Dec 2001
This review is from: Mystical Paths (Paperback)
The second trilogy in the Starbridge books takes place in the 1960's. In this book Jon Darrow's son Nick is now a young man shortly before his ordination as a priest. Nick is in no way a model ordinand. Like his father he has psychic powers, and cannot resist the urge to show them off as parlour tricks to impress the girls. He has quite a collection of female admirers and has it all figured out - how to separate the nice girls from the bad ones, and, of course, when to go to Confession (not compulsory in the Church of England) only to start all over again. The central story in this book is Nick's obsession with finding out the truth about a friend who has died under mysterious circumstances. He also has deep-seated issues with his father Jon - now living as a wise but fallible recluse - and problems keeping his psychic powers under control. Nick tends to blunder from one mess into the other - but remains a loveable and sincere young man who needs to learn the lesson: I CAN BE WRONG.

In spite of Nick's charms I wasn't entirely captivated by this book. I never really developed an interest in Christian and couldn't quite follow Nick's fascinationwith him. Also I found the psychic-occult element a little tedious this time around; it had been dealt with adequately in Glamorous Powers, I felt. Nevertheless it's an important part of the series and it was wonderful getting to know Nick, and witnessing the love between him and Jon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-worn story but still a good read, 30 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystical Paths (Paperback)
The Starbridge novels have all kept me gripped, and this one is no different. By now though I am finding the storyline of 'messed-up priest seeks redemption through sexual experimentation' slightly hackneyed.

Nonetheless, Susan Howatch is a good story-teller and the plot moves quickly and holds the readers attention. The background of the Church of England is interesting although I think that Susan Howatch focuses too much on one particular branch of it (high church) and I am not sure that she ever quite manages to capture the essence of spirituality (though who can?).

All in all a good read, but should be read with the others in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit too Mills and Boon, 20 Oct 2009
By Mrs. E. Green "SAYRAH" (LONDON) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mystical Paths (Paperback)
I thought this audio book had just too many cliches. I read audio books in order to help me wind down at the end of the day and this was just too full of well worn characters to be interesting or amusing. Handsome frenchmen and bored wives, wonderful landscapes and perfect french food. All too predictable and rather tedious, too irritating to please
