Book Reviews of The Horse Whisperer
Book Review: Bought it, read it, hated it.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have heard that Mr. Evans can write a great screen-play. If so, maybe he should go back to that line of work. This is a book that starts out like a ball of fire, and is quickly extinguished by mid-way. The end in particular left me cold.
I have also heard a rumor...nothing more than that, mind...that this was actually written for the express purpose of making a movie from it. That Mr. Evans was asked to write this drivel so that Hollywood could make a movie from a bestseller. If this is true, then just wait for the movie...the book isn't work the money.Book Review: Bridges of Madison County North
Summary: 2 Stars
Why did I think that I would glean some spiritual insights from this book? I was not sympathetic to the characters, and think the author is fortunate, indeed, to have gotten in on the slipstream of "Bridges"Book Review: Cliched romantic garbage totally lacking in imagination.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book starts out promisingly and, at least for about 170 pages (paperback), it seems like it's going to be the story of three people -- a mother, father, and their injured daughter -- and an injured horse (and what's done to save him). That alone would have been enough to make a good book, but, of course, the author went for the movie deal and tied in a romance -- cliched, of course, between the mother and a cowboy who's written to look like Robert Redford -- that's a copy of The Bridges of Madison County. If only he had just stuck to the girl and the horse ... What a ripoff! They could at least package this as a romance novel, then I would've known not to buy it. Instead, I feel as if somebody snuck into my wallet and pulled out $7.99.Book Review: Copy of Madison County?
Summary: 3 Stars
I couldn't warm up to Annie, therefore I didn't feel she was worthy of this adulterous affair. I just saw her as a bitter, mean woman who cheats on her husband. Robert is such a nice man who doesn't deserve her. Grace is a real heroine who shows amazing courage to overcome her disability...signs of which she showed before she met Tom Booker. I also didn't feel the "magic" between Annie and Tom.Book Review: Crap
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the worst piece of crap I ever read. It is unbelievable how someone can turn such a promising plot into something so pathetic. It is also unbelievable that there are people dumb enough to find this worth reading. Don't waste your time
