5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Wonderful Story About A Girl/Woman and A Horse That Warms the Heart, June 26, 2007
This review is from: Virginia Gentleman, a True Story (Paperback)
This is a truly WONDERFUL book. I couldn't put it down. It's a heartwarming story about the power of animals (one horse in particular) and their effect on our lives and souls. The story flows, cativates, and entertains. The author's style is warm and believable. She is so authentic and comes to appreciate life and what she has. I love when she says "anyone who thinks you have to die to get to heaven, has never been to my place." The book is full of precious lines like that. She made me laugh and cry and truly care about her, her life, her horses and her journey. I wish I knew how to get this book marketed. If handled correctly, I know it would be a VERY POPULAR BEST SELLER. Even though it's about a horse(s), it's more about life and making life worthwhile. It has very broad appeal. I wish all books were this good.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read!!, July 8, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Virginia Gentleman, a True Story (Paperback)
This book is absolutely amazing. It made me sob, laugh, smile, sigh, and get chills down my spine. You don't have to be a horse lover in order to enjoy this book- (even though I am) you just have to be someone who wants a detailed, heart-warming story that you will never put down. Mary Mitchell Barnes describes the relationship with her horse, Chinkers, in such a touching way. She treated him like a human and a life-long friend instead of "just a horse." I think that is what really made this book fantastic. I am so glad I read this book because no other one can match this. A must read for anyone!!!!!
