I found the first 50 pages or so of Score! rather hard-going; a tad too much detail on the opera front and not enough of the characters we know and love. The new characters I found very two-dimensional and not at all as appealing as the old ones, nor did I feel at all compelled to warm to them. I found myself yearning for more of Taggie, Rupert and Declan. Once Rannaldini was dead, part of the appeal died. Tristan was, frankly, not interesting enough, the sexual encounters were boring and little Cosmo was the only ray of light.
So go on, then - who disagrees?!!!!!
I should point out, though, that it was still a pretty good read, if only because the threat of Rupert & Tab reappearing every couple of pages kept me turning. There was also the nigling need to know whodunnit - quite scary towards the end!!!! Please leave comments in the guestbook & I shall update the page a lot more when I've got more time on my hands.
Thanks for reading!
