The Reason Why Books Are Written

Bravo to Mike Flanagan. I bought Cowboy Up! and Rigged To Ride back in mid-1999. I didn't like to read much because it seemed that every book I read was "boring". Then again I was in High School and they never chose good/interesting books. I read Cowboy Up! after I first read it, then I hit this phase of not wanted to read, it wasn't because the book was bad, it was more or less not wanted to finish the series because I never wanted it to end. So, by the summer of 2002 I read Mike's second book Rigged to Ride, boy did he do a great job of continuing the swell adventure. I bought his final book "Final Ride" right after it was released and again after I finished the second book I didn't want this awesome adventure to end, so I let it sit on the shelf and collect dust. So now it comes to the present time, July 2006 and I travel by bus a lot to and from work so I need to kill some time so I looked at the book and decided to finish up this series. Spectacular ending, I wish there was more but from the ending I can dream what may have happened. Mike has enlightned to keep on reading and never fear for an ending. Yes, I will miss reading about Clay, Jack, Billy, Tamara, Julie, Terry, etc..., but I will never forget the enjoyable time I had reading these books. This book made me feel like I was a part of it, and I mean that like "The Neverending Story" type of way. I would promote this book anyway that I could. It's great for all ages and an easy read. If you have not read this book yet, do yourself a favor and buy them.

Cowboy Up!

This was an excellent book! If your interested in something light and easy to read this is the book for you. It was very entertaining and enjoyable, especially since I know a little about rodeoing.

Great books for all Ages

I really liked this book. The story was so great that I couldn't put the book down. This is a book that mom's can recommend to their children. The language was not offensive and their was no sex in the book. This fact along makes it a great book for teens.

Cowboy Up!

My dad is the author of Cowboy Up. I didn't think that it would be as good as it turned out to be. Cowboy Up is a story of one man's struggle to come to terms with his past and a young boy's struggle to build a future. Together they form a bond, through rodeo that will be teated to the limits. This is a really great book. If you get the chance to read it then you should try it.

The Book For You

It's a graet book for all ages. Cowboy Up is a story of one man's struggle to come to terms with his past and a young boy's struggle to build a future. Together they form a bond, through the sport of rodeo that will be tested to the limits. I can't wait until the second book, Rigged To Ride comes out. If you get a chance then you should read it.
