Customer Reviews

The whole Thoroughbred series

I have read the whole Throrughbred series up to this book and I think the series is great. Every book so far is great and I a number 5 to the authors as well as all the books. I live in Kentucky where all the books take place so it really hits close to home for me. THESE ARE REALLY GREAT BOOKS I RECOMEND EVERY ONE OF THEM. THOROUGHBREDS IS A REALLY GREAT SERIES TOO.

A Wonderful Book

I really enjoyed this book dispite the fact that it seems like the authors tried to change Christina. All through it I could imagine Christina's hopes and dreams as well as her dissapointment when Star seemed to be different. This book has a very good ending and I hope that the series's next book about Star will continue to please although I am rather attached to Melanie.

I hope Star Gets better!!

I havent read the book yet, but have something to say. Everybody is right. The series has gone way down hill since Joanna Campbell/Karen Bentley left (Karen wrote the series when Cindy appeared). I have to say that Cindy has changed, alot! She seems sad about something, and a thought hit me when she was looking at the photo of her on Champion in Dubia in Fallen Star. Notice how Champion was not named as a stallion at Whitebrook, but Glory was? I think that Cindy, Max, Champion, and Honor somehow got into an accident, and Cindy was the only one that survived. That is why she left, and that is why she hates being at Whitebrook. It's just a thought, and of course the novel has to be written yet. Anyway, the story line has been getting better. I hated all the books written after Cindy's Honor, except Without Wonder and on. The series had started with racing, and should stick with racing, not eventing, and dressage, etc. And whatever happend to Wonders Legacy? If you would like to email me - spiderdragon@hotmail.com

Another Awsome Book To Add To My collection.

I think the seires has gone a bit down hill since Joanna stopped writing but, the writers are still coming up with books that the readers want to read. their recent plot lines have been excellent and I hope they keep them up. I do wish they would talk about some of the other horses that were racing and retired a generation before, like Honor and Champion. The Ashleigh books were great until some else took over them. They have gone downhill, however, alot of people don't realize how hard it must be for those other writeers to try and fill Joanna's shoes. She set the tone for an awsome seires and if she's reading this, I would like her to know she did an awsome job with the seires. I also wish her well in her life and hope she will have a long and happy one. This book sounds really great and I hope all of u out there who love the Thoroughbred seires will continue to read and support it 100%. Thanx
