Melanie feels an instant bond with this powerful animal. She and Jazz have been talking about owning a horse together, so why not this one?

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbridled Fury, December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Unbridled Fury (Thoroughbred Series #62) (Paperback)

Unbridled Fury was a great book. But i agree with another reviewer about the whole famous horse thing...it was ok the first time but it seems they have been doing it almost every book now! its getting kinda old. Anyway, i think its great that melanie was able to find another horse to work with. although it seems to me like they are just re creating another image. Alot of the things that jinx did, image did too. Even melanie said that...(when jinx broke away from his handlers and raced away on the track). Image did the same thing when melanie saw her. that kinda gave me the impression that they couldnt think of something else for jinx and they made him do whatever image did. idk....anywhoo this was a great book and i recommend it to anyone who has read the TB series.

wow. this book was terrible. melanie's character was terrible. the plot was terrible. the writing was terrible. jinx was terrible. i'm so glad that this trend was no repeated in following books, which have been a HUGE and welcome improvement.

even though the series still stumbles, i've been buying these books for 11 years and will continue to do so. i hope that the editors reconsider their decision to end the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Number One For Fans Of Man O' War, November 27, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Unbridled Fury (Thoroughbred Series #62) (Paperback)

All right! Finally a horse descened from the greatest horse ever, Man O' War! I really like how High Jinx looks like Man O' War too. I hope the auther will let him win the Triple Crown! The one thing I don't like is that on the back cover it says he looks like Seabiscut, who is a bay, while Man O' War was a fire red chestnut, like Jinx.
