This is the kind of book that your kids home alone unearth from your underwear drawer and wet themselves laughing at 1) because of the colorful language and graphic sex, 2) the over-the-top descriptions of sex, and 3) from embarrassment that their parent has such poor taste in literature.

Parts I enjoyed, but there were quite a few things that annoyed me. Usually, if the equestrienne character is hostile toward people, she's redeemed by her genuine love for horses, but not this "heroine." She half-kills her mare and recovers in just a few pages - which as a horse lover sure endeared me to her. The other characters are equally as unlikeable; the only decent main character (Daisy - the brat's mother) is such a doormat that you wind up wanting to slap her upside the head rather than root for her. (I did like her dog Ethel and her cat, as well as most of the ponies. At least, the author throws you that bone, pun intended.)

This was the kind of book where everyone's outfits were described in intricate detail, and their motives were spelled out the moment we met them (the author's motto seems to be tell not show). If a character's hostility was due to not being hugged as a child, the reader doesn't have to work too hard to figure this out.

Every time someone entered the story, whether or not we'd seen them before, we learned what color their outfit was. Cooper is very fond of colors - emerald green, baby blue, scrambled egg yellow, Pepto Bismol pink (just kidding), etc. After awhile this became tiresome.

Still something kept me skimming after reading the first two hundred pages. I just think it would have been as equally good a book if it were about half the length. None of the skimpy plot would have had to have been sacrificed. To the author's credit, she provides an extensive list of characters and a brief description (my favorite being "Bridget Macleod, Hamish's mother, an absolute bitch"). Subtlety thy name is not "Polo."

Polo Jilly Cooper 9782253141723 Books Reviews

I have never come across a book which makes me laugh out loud; so much so, that my neighbours had their fingers poised to dial the emergency services! The story tells of Perdita McCleod who dreams of making it into the international world of polo playing. Within that is the separate stories of Ricky France Lynch and a host of other characters which I wish I knew personally. Their antics are hilarious (if sometimes unbelievable) but that is what good fiction is supposed to deliver. If you want LAUGH OUT LOUD comedy fun (albeit with a cast of shady characters) then this book is for you. I loved the fact that every character is flawed (unlike other books where everyone is perfect)and that they don't always deal with life situations in a rational way. I also love how Jilly combines English aristocracy with the humble labourer as well. It works so well in these times! I recommend this book to anyone who needs a laugh in their life.
Make sure you know what language you are ordering the book in!!! I only speak English and Spanish, so cannot read it lol.
Unambashedly trashy fun! Don't know if you have to love horses to love her books, but I can't get enough of them, totally trashy as they are. It helps to have a wacky sense of humor. I only give it 3 stars because this is not great literature and not as good as Riders, her best novel, but I have to admit I've read and re-read it, and it's entertaining every time!
