Customer Reviews

Michael Dobbs and Frances Urquhart -- two very clever Brits!

Having been a huge fan of the PBS House of Cards trilogy on cable television, VHS, then DVD, since its first airing, I decided I had to own the DVD trilogy for myself. Then I really got interested in author Michael Dobbs, and wanted to see for myself how the original written word translated into the screen versions I've enjoyed so much. I was not disappointed. Though the book and the screenplay different in detail (but what adaptation doesn't...) I truly enjoyed reading the Dobbs original. This is brilliant writing!

Best of the trilogy

The third and best installment of the trilogy. The writing is a little laboured, by the plot rattles along. The plot line and developmetn is a lot tighter than the previous two books. The despicable PM is finally seen as the creature of his own making - manipulative, irredeemable, and subject to his own success. Overall, a good, light read into fictional British politics, that doesn't tax the readers intellect or political knoweldge too heavily,
