The Polo Affair eBook Sean Hennessy
I really enjoyed this book. Although I found it a little slow at first, mainly because Mr. Hennessy had to explain the game of Polo to the uninitiated, I being one of them. Once past the explanation of the game itself the story plot and the very believable characters take off as fast as a galloping horse. Not only does the reader learn about Polo but one is also exposed to the interesting culture and intriguing politics of Mexico, where all the action takes place.I especially liked the way the polo game within the novel was told. A very difficult task to achieve This is like trying to relay a soccer games every move, with players names and what they did with the ball without boring one to death. The author did a marvellous job in describing the action of an actual polo game without confusing or boring the reader . Wonderful first novel. I hope one will see more from this Irish author.

The Polo Affair eBook Sean Hennessy Reviews
The Polo Affair is one of those books that you race through -- only to reach to final chapter and find yourself savoring every last sentence because you don't want it to end. Even though I am not a polo player (I don't even ride horses), I really enjoyed the polo component of the book. I've seen a few polo games in my life but have never understood them; Hennessy does a great job of not only explaining polo to the novice, but capturing the game's beauty and incorporating its fast pace into the pages of his novel.
Mostly, though, I fell in love with the characters their complex personalities and well-versed back stories. The author does a great job of introducing them to the reader, developing relationships, all the whilst weaving an intricate, riveting story line. I read this book while in Mexico, which was even more of a treat. Hennessy has a very deep understanding of (and obvious connection with) Mexico's country and culture, and takes great care to explain the details to the reader. The book not only heightened my appreciation for Mexico, it actually contributed to my experience there.
All in all, I loved the book. Great plot, funny, interesting, beautifully written -- I couldn't put it down!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was intricate enough, and detailed enough that it kept me interested and thinking about the who's, what's and why's without getting confused, too much, about who did what to whom and why. I enjoyed the character development, and the scene and location descriptions. I frequently glaze over these areas because they are too heavy on detail, this was just the right balance. And I learned a b it about polo along the way.
It's a good read, will keep you interested, and will make you ask "when's the next one?"
Having read the previous reviews I am at a loss to add very much in the way of additional comment. I have not read a REAL book in some time, relying on my . Finding myself on vacation I took Polo Affair along just in case my died! I was a little anxious thinking I know nothing about polo, but as it was described in detail by Sean, I know have a better understanding of the game. I was kept guessing about the real "Who's who?" of the characters in the book, since I am aware of some of the politics hinted at in the book, although it took place in Quintana Roo. The story and characters were very well developed. The writing style was light, but gripping. I finished it in two days! Don't be put off by the assumed subject matter. This is one great mystery! How long must we wait for the sequel Sean? Have to mention that I liked the "James Bond" photo on the back cover...
Slow beginning but get's exciting after awhile and great ending.
Much like Hennessy's bar in Merida, difficult to leave. Polo game, nail biting
I'm enjoying reading about the polo world and horses and especially Mexico. I do find there is a lot of repeating of the main character's feelings though.
This novel contained EVERYTHING -historical hacienda in a tropical setting, sportsmanship (or lack thereof), romance, desire & true love and TRIUMPH over many obstacles. I even learned a lot about polo and am intrigued to experience it once again with a more comprehensive understanding of what I am observing.
Politics, intrigue, love, and polo! I learned so much about polo, which I knew nothing about. And, I learned a lot about Mex culture & politics. The bk is written from the perspective of an Irish ex-pat, so one learns how it feels to be an English-speaking person who has recently moved to Mex to live.
I had the privilege of meeting the author on his bk tour and admit that I had low expectations for the book despite being very impressed by the author. The book definitely surprised on the up side - it is very well done. . .and I would suggest it for anyone who is ready for a compelling bk that you will look forward to reading and will definitely hold your interest!
