When Happily After Ends Deseves 4 Bright Stars,
By Mary (Deep River, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Happily Ever After Ends (Bantam Starfire Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this book When Happily Ever After Ends was pretty well written, and it deserves 4 stars. This story would be very appealing to horse lovers because horses are a very big part of this story. For example, the setting takes place on a horse farm and the main character, Shannon, is very intersted in riding. The book is also good because the plot is very intense, and it is almost as if you feel their sorrow. For instance, Shannon and her family go through a very rough time, her father dies. I almost cried at some points.This book has a very touching plot. Realistic is a word that describes this story well. It shows reality by showing how death affects people. Such as, after a death in her family, Shannon grieves for months and will not continue in a riding competition. Some books have people get over death so quickly, which in most cases is very unrealistic. Yet this story tells how it really is.The characters are also very realistic, and well developed. Such as Heather, Shannons best friend, does not know what to say or how to react to Shannon after the death of her father, and that often happens in real life. If you are looking for a touching story, the is very realistic, and your a horse lover you will absolutely love this book. Yet even if you're not a horse lover give this book a try you just might like it.

When Happily Ever After Ends,
By Yvonne Furniss (Lonoke, AR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When Happily Ever After Ends (Bantam Starfire Books) (Mass Market Paperback)
When Happily Ever After Ends is a great book. It's about this girl that lives on a ranch and does horse shows for fun.Her father misses one of the biggest shows in her career and she knows something is wrong. When they come home they find the most terrifying thing.Even though there is this guy that's hanging around she doesn't like she doesn't really try to acuse him of what happened. You'd be amazed at how close they actually got.Lurlene McDaniel put this book together well. She picked the perfect setting a quiet ranch, very peaceful and calm, anything could happen.This book would be a great book to read if you enjoy sad stories with happy endings.I would recommend this to everyone.
