A review by sue_loves_to_read
Mount! by Jilly Cooper
1.0
In Jilly Cooper’s latest, raciest novel, Rupert Campbell-Black takes centre stage in the cut-throat world of flat racing.
Rupert is consumed by one obsession: that Love Rat, his adored grey horse, be proclaimed champion stallion. He longs to trounce Roberto’s Revenge, the stallion owned by his detested rival Cosmo Rannaldini, which means abandoning his racing empire at Penscombe and his darling wife Taggie, and chasing winners in the richest races worldwide, from Dubai to Los Angeles to Melbourne.
Perhaps it's not fair to review this as I didn't finish it - or even get much past 15% - but it was really bad! Dull, predictable and lacking Jilly Cooper's redeeming wit.
