Summary: Very Entertaining!
Review: The characters were fun and lovable. I loved how Deinwald put up with her physical assaults on him. The mud fight was great! When the news came as to who she really was I was laughing aloud. They both were straightforward in their dealings with each other. I enjoyed this because it's nice to not always have the misunderstanding that usually seperate lovers. I loved it when he was the one the king wanted her to marry and he was already married to her. Get on with it, read this book.

Summary: OUTRAGEOUSLY FUNNY PIECE OF WORK, U'LL BE TICKLED TO DEATH !
Review: The only time I stopped reading this fabulous novel was to wipe the tears of mirth from my eyes. Why ? Because Philippa threw a bucket of water on Dienwald & sent him flying toward a goat, who reared back & kicked him on the thigh. Ms Coulter should be given the lifetime-achievement entertainer award ! Philippa is tall & gangly, saucy, courageous, strong-willed & unruly. Against Dienwald, Edmund (his brat) & the people of his keep, she matched 'em word for word & gradually won their admiration & hearts (although Dienwald is the most reluctant of all). I own 26 - and counting - Coulter books & this one ranks right up there behind my favorite = Moonspun magic (Rafael's obscene molded bread & all that). Graelam & Kassia also show up to my delight & Dienwald's despair. Dienwald is adorable & the nickname 'wench' he gave Philippa is endearing. They still bicker & make up like the odd couple in 'Secret Song' (Another terrific effort). Go to the bookstore, spend 6-7 bucks & get a refund if U feel tricked. This one never ceased to amaze me !

Summary: An excellent, humorous read!
Review: This book is one of 5 loosely tied together through the use of the main characters from one story as the minor characters in another. In this case, Kassia and Graelam de Moreton from Fire Song play a minor role. I always wonder what happened to the characters of a good book after the last page, and so I find this snapshot very satisfying. It is fast paced read and very funny in parts. One of the few books ever to actually make me laugh out loud!

Summary: Coulter's Best!!
Review: This is one of four SONG books, the last, but it stands on its own very well, and is the best of Coulter's works. It is funny, warm and you really love these characters. Philippa de Beauchamp, is a long-legged girl, tall as many of her suitors. After her sisters fiancé tries to kiss her, her father says he is going to marry her to the repugnant Baron de Bridgeport. He was merely telling the suitor that, but Phillipa believe it, and decides to escape her fate. She stows away in a waggon full of wool, heading to town. Only the waggons are stolen by one Dienwald de Fortenberry. Dienwald is a self-styled lord of the manor, a rogue, a robber and answers to no one, though he does try to take care of his people. Which is why he was stealing the wool. They are in desperate need of new clothing. What he did not need was the woolly monster that rose up out of the waggon. Once it is cleaned up, he find he has a woman nearly as tall as him, one worth a ransom. So he keeps her prison. However, she takes over the castle. It is a pigsty and she sees it cleaned, she sets about to having the wool spin for cloth, then clothing made for everyone. And she slowly falls in love with Dienwald. Only romance is not smooth!! Especially when he learns that she is the bi-blow daughter of Edward the Longshanks. This is so wonderful, much in the style of Lynsay Sands engaging & warm historicals. So if you enjoy Lynsay, I highly recommend this to her fans. Many of Coulter's older historical were rather rough in the treatment of the females, so it a delight to see one so charming and endearing.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: This is one of the best books I've read, for pleasure, in years. This was the first book by Catherine Coulter I have read. Since then I read books 1, and 3 of the quartet. I keep re-reading Earth Song and purchased it for a friend. I'll forever remember this book fondly.

Summary: 3 and 1/2 stars
Review: Heroine: extremely tall, solid Fears of being wed to a loathsome, ancient baron prompt Philippa de Beauchamp to flee her comfortable home. But her impulsive and imprudent act lands her in the clutches of none other than the "Rogue of Cornwall", a man as dangerous as he is gorgeous! Dienwald de Fortenberry is cursed with the desire to do better by his young son and serfs, but lacks the funds to accomplish his worthy goals. So when a filthy young wench appears in his castle's courtyard insisting that she's a lady-- the daughter of his despised but wealthy neighbor no less, Dienwald believes that deliverance from his financial woes is finally at-hand. All he needs to do is ransom the girl back to her family for an obscene amount of money and all his problems will be solved. But it will take time for his perfect plan to come together; time that Dienwald may not have because the longer he waits the more opportunities Philippa has to break his head, his heart, or both! What worked for me: I've loved medieval stories ever since I discovered King Arthur, Robin Hood, and Ivanhoe, so "Earth Song" gets points from me just for being set in this time period. There were some wryly humorous lines peppered throughout the book that kept me smiling, and of course it was very nice to see a woman escape from a dire predicament for once without a man swooping in to rescue her.
Size-wise Philippa was very tall and solid and frequently teased about her great height. What didn't work for me: I realize that the hero and heroine were thrown together, but still they bickered right up til just about the last page of the book. (And that's a just a wee bit long for my tastes.) Also, there were a few plot elements that were a bit too transparent, and in a handful of places the writing felt stilted, not at all what I expect from a Catherine Coulter novel. Overall: Fans of Medievals should enjoy this one, but fans of Ms. Coulter may not find it to be her very best work. Warning: While it didn't quite cross the line into full-fledged "bodice ripper" territory, "Earth Song" balanced itself precariously on that line. If you are uncomfortable with stories which are less-than-PC, then you may want to give a pass on this one, which tries to be true to the harsh realities of life in Medieval times.
