Customer Reviews

The New Horse

I loved this book! It's about Mel, and she's looking for a new horse and falls in love with a SUPER BLOODLINES HORSE! But, Hi Jinx has a horrible temper. But, AMAZING speed. She takes on the challenge. But, he hurts another race horse, chews and kicks at his stall, and tossed Mel off EVERY time she rides him! . Can Mel change all of his energy into speed? To find out Read this book!!

I Loved It!

This was probably one of the best books in the series! And now Melanie isn't acting so bratty anymore. Melanie needs to find a new horse to race since her filly, Perfect Image is injured. She doesn't think she'll ever find another horse like Image again. But that's all about to change. One day she meets a beautiful chestnut colt named Hi Jinx, a direct descendant of the famous Seabiscuit! So Melanie buys him. But when he gets to Whitebrook, Hi Jinx starts acting up! I won't tell you the ending, but Jinx finally behaves at the ending. One thing though, in the book, Jinx is a chestnut horse. But on the cover, he looks more like a bay. Look, the books are good, but the covers could improve.

Number One For Fans Of Man O' War

All right! Finally a horse descened from the greatest horse ever, Man O' War! I really like how High Jinx looks like Man O' War too. I hope the auther will let him win the Triple Crown! The one thing I don't like is that on the back cover it says he looks like Seabiscut, who is a bay, while Man O' War was a fire red chestnut, like Jinx.

Unbridled Fury

Unbridled Fury was a great book. But i agree with another reviewer about the whole famous horse thing...it was ok the first time but it seems they have been doing it almost every book now! its getting kinda old. Anyway, i think its great that melanie was able to find another horse to work with. although it seems to me like they are just re creating another image. Alot of the things that jinx did, image did too. Even melanie said that...(when jinx broke away from his handlers and raced away on the track). Image did the same thing when melanie saw her. that kinda gave me the impression that they couldnt think of something else for jinx and they made him do whatever image did. idk....anywhoo this was a great book and i recommend it to anyone who has read the TB series.

Unbridled Fury

This is a great book. With all of these THoroughbred books together they send a chill up my back. Even though they mostly talk about racing I would like it if Christina would change her mind once again and go back to eventing. It would be interesting to hear about that.
