Book Reviews of The Horse God Built: The Untold Story of Secretariat, the World's Greatest Racehorse
Book Review: What about the horse?
Summary: 2 Stars
I have yet to finish "The Horse God Built"; after 150 pages, I'm left thinking that some 2% have been about ... Secretariat (gee, thanks) and the rest I think is more or less romanticizing about his groom, owners, jockeys, admirers ... but it'll get fully read -- well, skimmed thoroughly, actually, to find the Secretariat stuff.
When I have finished it, I'll add some more here ...
Michael
