A Risk Worth Taking Audiobook

" quick easy beach read, man's POV interesting.. "

" Worst. Book. Ever. Found it in the cottage in MI and picked it up. So appallingly bad, I cannot believe it was published! "

" Very enjoyable story about the human condition! "

" Liked this book ever more the second time I read it. "

" A pleasant read by Robin. A mid-life story of a man re-finding himself amid crabby teenagers and a cheating wife. "

" This was a nice quiet read but totally predictable. Robin Pilcher does create very soothing characters and storylines that are quite enjoyable to read. This, however, was not one of his best. "

" I think I expected too much of this book, since it is unfair to compare the author to his mother--Rosamunde Pilcher (author of "The Shell Seekers"). So I gave it 3 stars to be sure I was being fair "

" A schmaltzy book, but good for a quick read. Very syrupy though. "

" Mistakenly read in our book club. Vote from all: pure fluff! "

" Some of this book was pretty predictable, but like all of his books it was well written and for the most part a really good book. If you are looking for a light read this is a great choice, and though the ending was a little abrupt, I did like it. "

" Easy read. I was expecting a bit more humor. "

" It was a heart warming story. Hard to put down. A page turner! "

" I read this book quite some time ago and there is a reason I dont remember it all too well. I never really felt attached to the story. It held my focus poorly. "

" I also enjoyed this book maybe not as much as the previous Robin Pilcher books. I thought it was interesting how dis-functional a small family could become. I would recommend. "

" I love Rosamund Pilcher's writing, and had heard that Robin, her son, also writes good books. I enjoyed this novel (an unemployed man travels to Scotland to investigate buying a textile company) and will look for more novels from him. "

" I love this book, its about starting over and being a loving family....would read it again! "

" Sounded better than it was. Too many papercut-out characters, particularly the women. Don't recommend. "

" Robin Pilcher is not Rosamund. The opening of this book was like a Creative Writing 101 homework assignment. After he found his voice, the story picked up. Still, not terribly engaging. "

" Well I didn't know it had to do with 9/11, but it was a very good story, and very good for the times we are in now...live life now... "

" I loved the setting, but the book was just okay. "

" Dan is out of work when he stumbles across a business opportunity in Scotland. His wife has lost respect and looks elsewhere for comfort. His kids seem to be floundering and alienated. The Scotland adventure brings father and children together. "

" Reading Robin Pilcher is a lot like reading Rosamund Pilcher (his mother). The books are romance, but not that sultry steamy romance formula. And the books always make me want to visit Scotland. This particular book hit a lot of themes including the post-9/11 world. "

" When away on vacation I picked this up in a secondhand book section and proceeded to devour it in one day. It was enjoyable to read a novel where men were the main characters for a change. The plot was simple but fun. "
