Reader Reviews:
Magnificent revenge novel (4/4 people found this helpful)
As others have noted, this is the same book as 'The Stars' Tennis Balls', so don't buy them both.
This is a touching novel, part old-fashioned revenge fable, part thriller, part psychological drama. Stephen Fry always manages to create characters worth investing in, and here the triumphs and tragedies are particularly keenly felt.
Revenge isn't always sweet ... but do read this novel! (26/28 people found this helpful)
Note: `Revenge' is the same novel as `The Stars' Tennis Balls' re-titled for the American market
You can't go wrong with Fry's novels: his plots are unpredictable, his writing style is witty, intelligent and captivating, and his (dark) humour is ever-present ... what more could you ask for?
The Stars Tennis Ball's by Another Name (192/218 people found this helpful)
...and that's the extent of the review, really.
Perhaps it was dim of me, but as a long-time fan of Mr. Fry's work, I got all hot under the collar at the idea of a new novel from him. In fact, it is a re-titled (for the American market) edition of "The Stars' Tennis Balls": which is good, but not great and you can find heavily reviewed on this site elsewhere. God bless.
