Rating:  - Excellant
The Riders book was so much better than the DVD. They cut and changed so much that the DVD is no where near as good as the book.
I give the book a 10/10 and the dvd a 4/10
Rating: - Riders- Love or hate?

I would have preferred more horses and less voyueristic scenes, but I gather the book spent more time with passions, ... Read More
Rating:  - A disappointment
Since "Riders" is my all-time favorite book, I was thrilled to find it had been made into a video. Apparently it's impossible to translate 920 pages of novel onto the screen successfully, even at the length of 3 1/2 hours, which the video was. Perhaps it's because Jilly Cooper's characters as written are so other-wordly, so impossibly handsome or charming or spoiled or WHATEVER, but none of the actors in this movie were at all how I imagined them from the book. The actor playing Rupert especially ... Read More
