I haven't seen the new Poldark or read the books, so I might just give it a try. I love historicals and it sounds like this book is well worth it.Fran Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079042659459259795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-28145055038648699372016-05-31T11:22:05.218-04:002016-05-31T11:22:05.218-04:00I bought the first book but haven't read it ye...I bought the first book but haven't read it yet. I bought it in part because I'd not heard of it before either but saw the previews and also, because I'm a big fan of Aidan Turner since Being Human (the Brit version) premiered. I have a couple friends who have read the series so far and loved every minute of it, so I think I need to start the book.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-54678059969521679052016-05-31T09:21:32.451-04:002016-05-31T09:21:32.451-04:00I've often wondered how many readers find a se...I've often wondered how many readers find a series based on tv shows or movies. I know I've recently read several books because they were turned into series and I really enjoyed them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832020537665488659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-19673411294671011382016-05-31T09:13:58.341-04:002016-05-31T09:13:58.341-04:00I'm glad you recommended this.

I like it but I feel it's not giving me as much texture and back story as it should have.<br /><br />I'm hoping the book might be richer than the tv series.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-863974522495517352016-05-31T08:10:30.465-04:002016-05-31T08:10:30.465-04:00Britain used to wait every year for the new Poldar...Britain used to wait every year for the new Poldark book. We were turned on to the series early, by another BBC series of the books. For some of us, although the new Poldark is terrific, Robin Ellis and Angharad Rees are Ross and Demelza. And Ralph Bates is the definitive George Warleggan. <br />The series is long and sprawls over several decades, so you have a lot of reading ahead!<br />While I love the Poldark books, I don't think it's the best. The best I ever read were Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond series, which takes you by the throat and drags you through the first half of the sixteenth century. So when you want a break from Poldark, try those!<br />Some of us care about historical research, and IMO that's what makes a big difference. lynneconnollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687025766573756077noreply@blogger.com
