Book Reviews of Seabiscuit: An American Legend
Book Review: "And Here Comes Seabiscuit"
Summary: 5 Stars
Growing up in Texas, I was always around horses, I even managed to care for (wrangle) about 20 or so a couple of summers in my youth. I grew up , drifted away from horses, and rarely thought of them, except to remember these words that my Dad would quotewhen we would hop in the car to go places..."And they are off and running at Pimlico, it's Seabiscuit by a nose". Then, along comes this book and motion picture. Now, I am excited to say, I know who Seabiscuit is and what that saying was all about! I was excited about the movie and was glad to finally know the story of this great horse. Christmas came along and I got the DVD and book as a present. Well I began reading and could not put it down. The first book I have read cover to cover in about a year. Absolutely astounding work by Ms. Hillenbrand. She knows the subject and puts it all into prose we can all understand. This story of an underdog (horse) is as good as it gets. Seabiscuit aside, the smaller but no less grand stories of Red Pollard and Mr. Charles Howard are equally as fascinating, as are all the main characters..Laura fleshes them all out equally as well , it is a splendid story told in perfect detail of a True American Hero. Outstanding Reading!!
