all in the series
Brilliant - and so much better than the T.V. series ... but as I read I do see Demelsa and Ross etc as they are on T.V.
The books give the characters thoughts which adds so much to the story.
They are educational in respect that it tells of the French revolution, how awful and dangerous mining was in those days and the general hardship on poorer families.
Paying for the services of doctors and the how their treatments were very basic and guesswork a lot of the time.
Also how Parliamentary voting evolved and the underlying corruption etc.
Really well written - takes you from hardship and serious items to the softer side of family life and stormy relationships ... so there is constantly dark and shade.
So GOOD for bringing visitors to Cornwall too. Leaflets are available here as to where the locations for filming have been. The T.V. series has shown Cornwall at its best.
Nothing bad to say about the books .... but still reading and will be for sometime. Nice to get 6 books in one go at a very good price - thank you.Read full review

Poldark novels - Last six in the series
The first seven books were very compelling reading and kept up the pace. Great dialog. As of Book 8, however, the story begins to drag. Got through Book 8 and im into 9, so will have to see. The new relationships are totally lacking in the intesnity of those in the first books. Ross and Demelza's kids are, well, kind of boring and colorless at this point. Graham seems unable to decide exactly who is his main character: Ross and Demelza are often in the background, not much plot action there at all. The children on the other hand are too two-dimensional. will continue to read though, now that I have all 12!Read full review

Intriguing title ... what comes next?
Winston Graham writes brilliant books. I have only read 4 books from the series of 12 but the story is lovely and WG brings out the best and the worst of his characters. I loved the portrayal of this family when it was made into the television series, which js what made me want to read the books as well.
Fabulous.Read full review

A man called Poldark
Poldark, a great story. I wish there were living Poldark s in this day and age instead of Trump's and Modi's etc.

Poldark books, excellent value
The Poldark set of books were to complete the full set, six of which we already had. The value of the remaining six was too good to miss.
