Customer Book Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - A spellbinding trilogy of characters I didn't like I have mixed feelings about the entire trilogy of books, although I enjoyed "Meridon" the most. It is a wonderfully written book, full of vivid imagery and well fleshed-out characters, and the estate of Wideacre is a living, breathing place. My biggest complaint is that I just didn't LIKE many of the characters, especially the main protagonists. With the exception of James Fortescue and Will Tyacke, Philippa Gregory paints an ugly picture of people and all their foibles. I often found myself disgusted with everyone, and there were many times when I would have quit reading if the writing itself weren't so darned GOOD. Despite my feelings about the people, though, I would probably recommend "Meridon" and its predecessors, "Wideacre" and "The Favored Child," as good pieces of literature. Rating: - Very Disappointing Although I did not read the first two books in the Lacey trilogy, I had high hopes for "Meridon", as I thought Gregory's storytelling in "The Queen's Fool" is excellent. But "Meridon" is a great disappointment. The story starts out with a very interesting premise - with Meridon as a traveling Rom, or gypsy. However, her dreams of "Wide" are not flushed out completely - they don't really have a coherent place. The book starts going downhill immediately after 'the accident,' (I don't want to give too much of the story away). But after that, it seems to me that Gregory makes events happen just just for the sake of them happening without really flushing out the reasons why. Meridon jumps from being Meridon to being Sarah in too short a time, Wideacre accepts Meridon as Sarah too quickly. The ending is even more indicative of this disjointed piecing together of events - I didn't get a sense of Meridon's growth as a character at all. I was extremely disappointed with this book, but because I did really enjoy "The Queen's Fool," I will give Gregory another chance and read "The Other Boleyn Girl." Rating: - a rare treasure books writen like this one inspire me to read more often.
