Book Reviews of Crazy Good: The True Story of Dan Patch, the Most Famous Horse in America
Book Review: What a horse.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm only partially through the book, but what a story. The fact that he couldn't even stand up when he was born, because of his leg deformity, makes him amazing. Then to become the great racer he was. Like Seabiscuit, he fought the odds because he had grit and determination. Oh how we as humans can learn from our four legged friends about life. I learned of Dan Patch when I was a little girl, back in the 40's and 50's. He and Seabiscuit have always been special to me. Dan Patch deserves to have a movie made about his life too.
