3.0 out of 5 stars when will the hill go back up?, March 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Star's Chance (Thoroughbred Series #45) (Paperback)

The series has REALLY gone downhill! I used to love them and would rush to the store the day it came out, now I just wait until someone else has to go and ask them to bring it home! The authors don't seem to have read the bookis before - leaving me wondering what happened to this and that! I think the series began to go downhill when Christina gave up eventing! and Sterling! She gave up a wonderful horse that her parents loved to get her than just sold her to go to racing! Her dream was always eventing and Sterling and then she just switched. I wish the 2 orginal authors would go back to writing them. But I keep reading them thinking every hill goes down but ALWAYS goes back up! and I hope this hill goes back up quickly! (hint to all authors - read every book in a series before writing another one in that series) I know that they are tring hard but the series just isn't has fun to read ~ I don't mind putting them down to do something else when before I would sit down and read straight though it NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON around me! (making my mom mad)lol! Any way this is just my opinion and if you haven't read to book/series you really should!

1.0 out of 5 stars What happened to Christina???, February 9, 2002

I haven't read this yet, but I just want to say that when Christina gave up jumping for racing I was SOOOOOO upset! I am 16 years old, but I love these books... or at least I did. They're still good, but Christina is turning into an Ashleigh clone!!! Dont get me wrong, I love Ashleigh, but this is the new generation!! I think it would be good if the new characters (Christina, Parker, Melanie, Kevin) had different personalities than the ones before. Its like, Christina is the new Ashleigh, and Melanie is the new Samantha. I compete in jumping some, and I love it a lot more than racing, but I do like to read about racing. I think the series would have been great if Melanie was the one racing and Christina had stayed with jumping. She is just like Ashleigh! She even looks like her!! I thought she had blond hair! I loved the book "Ashleigh's Christmas Mirical", when Christina was into jumping. I mean, I know that Parker loves jumping, but I like reading about other female jumpers. So, please, do something, bring back the old Christina that was in "Ashleigh's Christmas Mirical"!!!!! One good thing about the new books, I love Christina and Parker as a couple!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars NO WAY JOSE!!!!!!!, September 30, 2001

A 10-year old reader (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star's Chance (Thoroughbred Series #45) (Paperback)

I am simply annoyed with the entire Star thing. Why do they always either have to recover completely or die? Why can't Star just be non retrainable and have to be retired? Then maybe Christina can get Sterling back. Or is stupid Star the new Horse of her Dreams? I mean, look at the past! Sterling was her dream horse! Now Christina never even remembers her!! All it is is STAR STAR STAR And I am sick of it! Authors, please listen to me, MAKE STERLING A STAR AGAIN!!!
