I just finished reading this book last night and it was better than I thought it would be. It is a truly moving story about how crule the world can really be. Four stars.

I love the way Joanna wrote this book. Cindy accused of stealing a watch when infact she stole a horse. This shows how far love will go to save someone. Cindy fell in love with this beautiful horse and when Glory appears at Whitebrook she just can't let him go back to his owners. Cindy hid him to protet him. In the end he was found at Whitebrook but instead of returning him they dug deep into his past and found out that he was stolen. In this book you see Cindy willing to risk anything to save the horse. I think Cindy and Glory were Champions from the begining. I can't wait to see what's in store for them.

It was an awesome book! You'll get hooked on March to Glory(Glory's real name) and Cindy's love for him and the next 6 books! But don't get TOO attached. Cause starting from #19, Cindy completely forgets about him and gives her heart to a horse named Strom's Ranson, then he dies and she gives her heart and attention to Champion, one of Wonder's. Then I guess when this foal in #20 appears she'll probably forget about Champion like she did with Glory and give her heart to the foal, Honor Bright. Knowing Cindy, it would happen

This is a really good book. Cindy is reasonably sensible and Glory sounds like the perfect horse! If you like horses and racing (and Americans) try this book.

I have a hard time believing that Joanna Campbell really wrote this book. The writing style is very different from all the previous Thoroughbred books.

It was a good book, story wise, but the change in style really bothered me, especially toward the end.

What I don't understand is why the later books in the series are written by other people. Why did Joanna Campbell sell-out her series to other writers?

This book was great even though it is almost the same as Lighning's Last Hope in the Ashleigh series. This book was more relistic than most of the other one's and taht is what makes it so great. Cindy can be a brat (Well most of the time she is) but she is still one of my favorite's...

This is one of the better ones in the Thoroughbred series. It shows you how much heart one girl can have. Cindy really cares about a horse that isn't even hers, and saves it from two men who are abusing the horse. You should really read the entire series, but if you don't at least read #12 so that you have some background on Cindy, the main character.

I really like this darling little novel! I can relate to Cydney.
And as for Glory,all I can say is
WHAT A SWEETIE PIE!
If I had a horse,it would be him.
HOWEVER-Cindy can be a little tempermental. I dont care for her.

i put five star on because it a raally good book i have all throw 14 and ihopeing to read more THE BOOK IS THE BOMB
