5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best sequels in literary history., December 22, 1999

This review is from: The Black Stallion Returns (Paperback)

This book is my personnal favorite in the Black Stallion series. Farley does a masterful job of capturing the breath-taking scope of the desert and the people who live there. This book has it all: a thrilling horserace through the desert wilderness, feuding tribes, a boy was is more than he or anyone else thinks he is, and a sceming secret tribe. Farley is at the top of his form. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can believe it, this is even better!, July 5, 2000

This review is from: The Black Stallion Returns (Paperback)

What a great story! I almost couldn't catch my breath during the racing narrative! Farley spins a wonderful tale of betrayal and true friendship here. The Black Stallion Returns is even tighter in plot and more moving with Alec and Black's friendship than the very first. Read this book! You will be happier! And you will fall in love with horses like I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Black" Will Take Your Breath Away, February 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Black Stallion Returns (Paperback)

I love The Black Stallion books; all of them! They are great stories about a boy and his love for his horse. Alec shows such determination to unite with his horse, which I think that everyone should have. It's very suspenceful (is that how you spell it?) and I couldn't put it down!
