5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic yet sad book!!!, February 22, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Distance Runner (Thoroughbred #51) (Paperback)

I have read every Thoroughbred book printed and own every one. I buy them as soon as they come out and can finish them in a day. This Thoroughbred amazed me. First, I would like to congradlate Jennifer Chu for writing her first Thoroughbred and doing it well. But the worst part in the book is when Parker and Christina brake up. That was soooo sad!!But who Christina meets next is cool. So read book #51 and you will be as amazed as me at the other surprises!

This review is from: Distance Runner (Thoroughbred #51) (Paperback)

Dear Readers,
The bookscool. Its cool. But why did they have to brake up they looked good together. I hope Mel and Kev get back togther. And why do they have to spell Mum "MOM" couldnt they spell it "MUM" it woulod be aloit better. I hate Aaron. He remides me of a kid who went to my Primary School. I hope star wins the Darby. But he dosnt. Image dose. I like Hi jinks. But on the book when Jinks comes out they spell his name like High Jinks when it should be Hi Jinks. What happened to Sterling Dream. Whernt they going to breed her to Jazzman. And why is Jazzman so Popual if Glory was the one to win all those races why didnt he go into the darby.
Where are the rest of the gang.

3.0 out of 5 stars an ok book but sort of wrong, June 9, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Distance Runner (Thoroughbred #51) (Paperback)

I think that the auther shouln`t have put aaron in, and the auther got the dates of the races wrong and come on, don`t make parker just dissappear like max and dylan.
chris is a bit of a spoilsport and mel isn`t half as mean as the auther makes her sound.
the covers lack a lot in the new generation and joanna campbell should start writing the books again.the auther is dissappionting a lot of people!!!!!!!!!!
in spite of what i`ve just said the serriies is still one of my favorites.
