Anthony Hope : Rupert of Hentzau (Zenda 2) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Rupert of Hentzau (Zenda 2):

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Did Anthony Hope's magic strike twice?By Malvern P. PowellWhen I first learned that Anthony Hope had written a sequel to "", I was curious about two things: (1) would his magic in creating the perfect novel (Zenda) strike twice, and (2) had Hollywood missed out on the chance to replicate the success of its earlier cinematic recreation of the original novel-----specifically the Ronald Colman version of 1935?As to the first question, alas----no magic this time. The plot is weak, convoluted and a bit thin, Some of the lovable old characters were in the sequel----but the situations we found them in were less inspired to say the very least. When you reflect on "Rupert", if the title had not been previously used by a more talented writer---a more appropriate one would be "Much Ado About Nothing."As to the second question, it is possible that if David O. Selznick (producer of the 1935 Zenda) had had the good fortune to recast Colman as Rudolf and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. as Rupert----a charming and delightful movie might have emerged. Since that kind of luck seems remote--- Hollywood was wise to take a pass on this idea. The novel is just not strong enough to have survived the usual Hollywood mediocre reworking by less skilled hands,"Rupert" is an OK way to spend a few hours of your reading time. But in the end, I felt like I had just eaten a Chinese meal----hungry again after just finishing the kung pao chicken.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A problematic sequel redeemed by its endingBy CaraRupert of Hentzau is the little-read sequel to The Prisoner of Zenda, one of my favorite 19th C romance/adventure novels. Prisoner is swift-moving and tightly constructed, with a poignant ending. Rupert opens with the same poignancy, but the story becomes increasingly convoluted. It's difficult to pull off the "identical twin (well, distant cousin)" plot twice, and Rupert shows that strain. The final confrontation between hero and villain is anti-climatic. But the love story, which transforms Prisoner from just a fun adventure tale to something more, plays out in a way that is both painful and unsurprising (in light of the dilemma Hope sets up for his hero). The ending lingers in my mind after most of the rest of the (often) frantic events recede.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Gives Closure, but Second Fiddle to Prisoner of ZendaBy noblesushiNot as good as the original Prisoner of Zenda, but still a satisfying read. The ending was a little bit of a let down, but very definite. Still worth reading if you enjoyed Prisoner, but don't expect the same magical thrill as you read it. It still has plenty of danger, intrigue, and romance, but Prisoner set a very high bar in my mind.Rupert is still a worthy villain, Rudolf an enjoyable hero, and Flavia always a darling. Hope gives you some interesting insight into the minds of the side characters and a very believable several years later scenario. A solid "B" sequel.Of course, since you can read both Rupert and Prisoner for free, stop worrying about it, download it, and enjoy via the e-reader of your preference. Rupert of Hentzau is a sequel by Anthony Hope to "The Prisoner of Zenda", written in 1895, but not published until 1898. This story commences three years after the conclusion of Zenda, and deals with the same fictional country somewhere in Germanic Middle Europe, the kingdom of Ruritania.
