Devil's Cub Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Alstairs the next generation - great read "

" Loved it! This is Georgette Heyer at her best. The characters are entertaining, the plot is full of twists, and the love story is endearing. "

" I have tried and tried to like Georgette Heyer. She writes an exciting and skillful Regency romance, but my god, the characters are just offensive and annoying. This book just feels to me like a seminal exercise in gender stereotypes and rape fantasies. While she manages to pull it off with tight and fast plotting, I can't get over how ridiculous and offensive the characters' personalities are. I wanted to like this, but I just can't. "

" An old favorite (bought a few Heyer's on the annual SourceBooks GH birthday sale) "

" My favorite Georgette Heyer. I have read it many times. "

" By far my favorite of her books. "

" I know this is a classic but I just could not get into it. There were some good moments from the shooting to Mary and Avon talking at the end. I ended up skimming a lot of the book because all I wanted to do was read about Mary and Vidal but there weren't enough scenes with them. "

" Light gothic romance fiction, among my Mom's favorites. Considerably better than the average gothic romance. Some of them are more like historical fiction, such as Simon the Coldheart. I read them from time to time when I was growing up. "

" I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. "

" Fun and funny. Heyer knows her way around a sensible, competent heroine. "

" I read it only to get up to the bit near the end where Mary meets a tall, sardonic, enigmatic Englishman in the middle of a hotel in rural France... "

" Devil's Cub is listed #1 on this list so I picked that up in my latest Georgette Heyer run. I was underwhelmed. The only part I thought was hilarious was when Rupert kept asking "Why do they want to go to Dijon?" "

" Cute story. Quick read. No vampires(boo). Did not contain the answers to the universe. "

" I love reading Georgette Heyer. I discovered her many many years ago and have read all of her books, most of them more than once. I don't know how many times I have read Devil's Cub but every time I read it i laugh out loud at Heyer's wit and and situtations her characters find themselves in. "

" I loved it! This is the third book by Georgette Heyer I've read, and I'm definitely going to read more, both the romances and the mysteries. "

" Guess I just wasn't in the mood for formula romance with sticky, silly prose. "

" Quick, entertaining easy read without much real substance. "

" Miss Robin talked me into reading this, and I have to eat crow. It was actually very fun and a nice break from my usual reading materical. "

" Reading Georgette Heyer is like the comfort-iest of comfort foods. Sometimes you just need it. "

" I actually preferred this sequel to its predecessor, as this one lacked the creepy paternalistic overtones of that book. The storyline itself put me in mind of the Pink Carnation installment The Deception of the Emerald Ring, which seems to owe some of its plot to this novel. "

" One of my favorite GH books, ever. So much fun to re-read, as well. "

" I read this one a long time ago. But of the Georgette Heyer books this is one of the better ones. "

" One of my favorites. Dominic's story. "

" Really fun and funny, like a Georgian screwball comedy. "

" This book was written in 1932 and it is amazing that I loved it so. It was so funny and exciting. Once you get to reading it you will not be able to put it down. Great! I picked up a couple of her other books since this was my first but definitely not my last. "

" hav ere-read the book...4 times but never get over it! "

" I read this one a long time ago. But of the Georgette Heyer books this is one of the better ones. "

" Fun read. This was my first Heyer novel and I really enjoyed it. Liked the pace and writing and the entertaining characters. I laughed out loud several times. "

" Loved, loved loved this book! I adored the main characters and was thrilled to see so much of the characters from These Old Shades in this book as well!! "

" These characters in Alistair #2 were, for me, equally as engaging as those in Alistair #1, being the children of the parents of Book 1. Delightfully written dialogue. "

" Really love the descriptions of the period and how people viewed the different classes. Enjoyed the carryover of characters from These Old Shades. The women in both these books are strong women who end up taming the men. But I especially like the ending of this book. I had to read it twice. "

" Good, not one of her best, but still very worth reading. "

" Reading Georgette Heyer is like the comfort-iest of comfort foods. Sometimes you just need it. "

" Also read Devil's Delight, which is not listed. "
