Book Reviews of Seabiscuit: An American Legend
Book Review: Not just for the racing buff ,an excellent story with it all
Summary: 5 Stars
Brilliant...Why has this never been made into a film or has it? Well actually, I can answer that, apparentally the process has started...'can't wait.'This story has got it all, excitement, drama,disappointment, suspense, tragedy, determination and even comedy.This is a true story written like a novel. Whether it is correct in every detail I couldn't comment. As someone with a passing interest in horse racing and sport in general, plus being from England I only recognised the horses name Seabiscuit. However, this lack of knowledge to the story only added to the enjoyment, as I was unaware of what was to unfold.It is so well written that I was there! I rode the back straights, heard the crowds,smelt the sweat and felt every effort of the horse and jockey. I even believed Seabiscuit had won only to have my hopes dashed and become disappointed as the result was annouced.I even shed a tear or two towards the end! Not because of sadness but enjoyment, of a story about decent loyal people showing kindness, faith and decencey toward each other and truely having a great horses interest at heart. An audio book also needs the right voice and reader.I cannot fault Campbell Scott whose tone was always spot on to the occasion and complimented the text superbly. Not just a story for the racing buff but a great one for anyone who enjoys a good decent non-violent tale. Now I must buy the book and find out more about the author Laura Hillenbrand
