2.0 out of 5 stars Dylans Choice, August 2, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Dylan's Choice (Thoroughbred Series #30) (Paperback)

In Dylans Choice, one of Christina Reeses best friend, Dylan Becker has second thoughts about horses. When Christina first met him, he was just as crazy about horses just as she was but now, he is saying that horses are just for little girls. Dylans best friend, Chad is showing Dylan another world without horses and tells him that he can make it to the big time for soccer. Dylan is a excelient soccer player and now his horse Dakota his just a pet instead of an eventer. Dylan was training his quarter horse to be a perefect 3 day eventer but after their last competition, Dakota showed no spirit like he normaly does and gets himself injuried. Christina even had to tell Dylan to take care of his horse before heading to his soccer game. A hour later Christina sees that Dakota has hardly been taking care of. She knew Dylan has changed. It seemed when Chad was around, Dylan tried to make him proud and be stuck up and everything. Dylan even choses to ride a dirtbike instead of his horse. Is Christina loosing her friend? Find out in Dylans Choice. (...) And please if u want to save Thoroughbred, (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, a really good reflection on real life, December 1, 2002

This review is from: Dylan's Choice (Thoroughbred Series #30) (Paperback)

This was a great book because it showed more of a conflict that would actually happen. I love the other books, but really what are the odds that you will have like 10 of those "one in a million horses" like Wonder, Pride, Princess, Glory, Shining, Honor, Star, Image. I could go on and on. It was really a story that you can relate to, I have had like a million friends that you think they like the sames things you do or whatever, but then bam they turn on you like a turn on the forehand! They also did it at just the right age I mean this happens mostly in teenages its not like an eight year old would do that. But its cool how Dylan comes back in the end. Its also true that its really hard to concentrate on more than one sport at a time. I used to horseback ride and do gymnastics (horseback riding more of course) but you really have to choose one sport in the long run. So this is really a good book and targets something that basicly everybody will have to go through at one time or another. Its great they got Dylan back though, because he was a really good character (realistic too, considering at Camp Saddlebrook he totally didn't know how bad Rachel was flirting with him, and all guys do that so it just makes it better.) This is definatly one of the best Thoroughbred books yet! Also, I love the books on eventing! What do all you people have against it? Why can't Christina and Melanie just stay on eventing instead of going to racing? We would all be much happier if Cindy never came back! So this little part of the series about eventing is either the best or best tied with the first ones about Ashleigh and Samantha.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book..., July 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dylan's Choice (Thoroughbred) (School & Library Binding)

This book is pretty good, athough compared to books #28 and #29 in this series, it is not that great. I recommend this book to anyone who loves horses, but if you are not really into this series, you should buy the paperback edition.
