pretty good,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Glory's Triumph (Thoroughbred Series #15) (Paperback)
I really liked this book, and it was the second I read in the series, I couldn't put it down. But now that I've read more in this series, I see more problems with this book. It's just that Glory winning his first race ever by 20 lengths is slighly outlandish, and something about Cindy just gives me a weird feeling. She's nothing like Ash and Sammy, and I know everyone's different, but she acts like her life depends on Glory's winning, and she doesn't seem to have a whole relationship with the colt. But it's still very good, and I reccomend it.

Very Interesting,

This review is from: Glory's Triumph (Thoroughbred Series #15) (Paperback)
This book kept my interest through the whole thing because there was so much going on. I figured in the end that they would figure out why Glory was so spooky? To me it never made sense. In #14 it left off saying that Glory was a wonderful horse and Cindy and him were excellent teamates. But in this book it started out with Glory shying all the time. And it never came clear in the end why he did. So that part was a little confusing to me. That was basically the reason why I gave this book only 3 stars. Yeah sure it's a little unbelievable that Glory won a race by 20 lengths,when he got a slow start and it was only a short race. But the book is fiction and it's not going to stop me from continuing to read the books. I'm the type of reader that pays attention to minor detail. But Mandy's age in #14 was 9. But in this book she was 8. What's it going to be? Another thing is the Pony Commandos. Horseback riding is wonderful for disabled kids. But I never suspected that they would be cantering, let alone jumping. That is a big step. And can be physically demanding at times. It seems to be an alright situation for Mandy. But it's unclear with the other riders. But otherwise this book was good. Just confusing and unrealistic and times.

Glory, the wonder horse, has started a snowball effect,
By A Customer
This review is from: Glory's Triumph (Thoroughbred Series #15) (Paperback)
Yeah, horses always win their maiden by twenty lengths and set a record. How very believable. I guess it's better than his winning the Breeders' Cup Classic by thirty-one, but come on! I don't care if he IS the grandson of Just Victory! Why are they putting us through this mush. Oh, dear, he had a hard run, but managed to GET AHEAD OUT OF NOWEHRE TO WIN BY AN UNPRECEDENTED MARGIN! I hate this book!
