3.0 out of 5 stars Time frame's a bit off, October 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Expectations (Thoroughbred, No. 55) (Paperback)

Ok, the book is ok, but my biggest beef is that the timeframe is off. The Rolex Kentucky is held the last week of April, and the Kentucky Derby the next weekend. The last 5 books have it all messed up. But, that's just me, I'm not saying that the books are bad. They're just a bit messed up in the time department.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm getting more and more anxious., September 9, 2002

This book was good, Parker takes a trip to England to complete internationally. But the only thing is it talks about the prep show but it doesn't actually have the Burghley (however you spell it) in in.

Another thing, this book doesn't have the Derby in it. I mean, I thought the derby was going to be in Derby Fever before I finished it. Then I was so sure it would be in the next book, Cindy's Last Hope. Still no sign of it. And when I found out this book was about Parker it couldn't have the derby in it. Oh well, please, just please, make it in the next book! I'll die if I don't know who'll win soon.

This book was OK. I don't think that it was Karle Dickerson's best book in this series. I kinda thought that it was boring, but you should definently read it though so then you can fine out about some things.
