A Risk Worth Taking (Abridged) Audiobook

" 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. "

" 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. "

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

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

" 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. "

" 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. "

" Much like his Mother, Mr. Pilcher's books are worth reading. Not sure it's up to the caliber of "Shell Seekers" - but he's headed that way. "

" A good fast, easy read - wanted to see what Robin Pilcher's writing was like becasue I liked his mother, Rosamunde Pilcher's, books and the reviews says he picks up on her style. It was well written and a good uncomplicated read. I do think he has a quality similar to his mothers. "

" 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. "

" I didn't mind the book just borrowed it from the gym. "

" 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. "

" Just getting in to book and it is taking a while to get into what this book is going to be about. Still plugging along though. "

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

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

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

" 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 "

" 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... "

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

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

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

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

" Not a bad, light read set in London & the Scottish Highlands. A person is at a crux in their life; something happens to change their life for the better. Usually this type of book is set from a woman's point of view. This time it was from a married man's. This made it a bit more interesting. "

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

" An easy read. And an interesting tale. "

" If you like Rosamund Pilcher, you'll probably enjoy her son Robin's books. "

" 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. "
