A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sterling's Second Chance (Thoroughbred Series #26) (Paperback)

This book is exellent if your a horseback rider like me! Christina Reese is an eighth grader. From her strawberry blond hair to her riding boots she is all rider. Her parents own a racing stable and her mother is a profecianal race horse jockey, but Christina doesn't want to race horses. She begged her mom to buy her Sterling a 4 year old racing mare. The first 2 weeks Christina has Sterling,Sterling is her dream horse,but after that sterling is becoming a nightmare. She's been running out on jumps or rushing them.Christina even broke her rist and lost her nerve to ride Sterling. With the event so close how can she train her horse. Everybody wants a girl name Cassidy Smith to ride Sterling. Christina finally allows her to ride Sterling. This is an exiting story for a horse lover! You have got to read it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not NEARLY as good as the beginning of the series..., August 28, 1998

This review is from: Sterling's Second Chance (Thoroughbred Series #26) (Paperback)

Ok. This book is nice. But what happened here? The Thoroughbred Series started out fantastically. I couldn't wait for the next one to come out. But now, each book gets worse and worse. The Thoroughbred Series barely EVER talks about racing horses anymore; it's just Christina and jumping. And what happended to all the great characters? Samantha dissapeared, Heather, Mandy, Tor, and all those people. I haven't heard about Caroline or Rory for the LONGEST time. Cindy disapeared, and whatever happened to Brad and Lavinia? If anyone knows what happened to all the missing characters, please e-mail me. I really wish that these last few books were more like the first ones.
