Customer Reviews

The Young Black Stallion

This is truly the most realistic, culture-related, fantastic, adventurous books Farley has come up with! My eyes where glued to the pages at all times. And in some parts, I was even rubbing gooseflesh from my arms. This is an excellent read! Must buy for young and older Black Stallion lovers! Please check it out, it's worth it.

decent

This book is definitly not as good as the Black Stallion but it is decent. Some parts get kind of exciting and a good portion of the book keeps you guessing even though sometimes it seems like Farley let a chapter get boring. Anyways though, it puts everything together between the Black Stallion and the Young Black Stallion and it's also nice because it gives you a little taste of a different culture

Not Exactly Sure Why.....

This is the book you want to read if you want to hear about all of the blacks early adventures right up to the point when The Black boards The Drake. Great for adventure lovers and all who want to know the whole story. Yet something about it doesn't appeal to me maybe its because theres no Alec. You can judge fthis book yourself but I'd definetly try it.

A wonderful book for adventurous readers and people

It's a wonderful book for people who like adventurous stories, very well written in my point of view. Yet it still had a few bad parts here and there. You should defently buy!
