Book Reviews of Ruffian: A Race Track Romance
Book Review: a moving eye witness account of Ruffian
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand the negative reviews of this book. I thought it was a wonderful and touching eye witness tribute to Ruffian. While there is great information about Ruffian in this book, it is more a book of the heart than the head as the subtitle "A Racetrack Romance" indicates.
The ending brought chills up and down my spine. While I understand that there are much more serious tragedies in the world, I can't remember the last time I read a book that touched my heart and emotions like Nack's book. Each page I turned I learned more about this incredible horse and her greatness but each page brought a sense of foreboding, knowing that a terrible ending was drawing closer. But I could not put the book down. Thank you William Nack. Thank you for this touching tribute to Ruffian. In a small way you gave us a fitting tribute to this wonderful horse.
