Rating: Summary: AWSOME! Review: I just want to say that this book was awsome-better than the novel. If you haven't read it before, read it now!
Rating: Summary: The movie does no justice to the book! Review: Seeing the movie before reading the book showed me that the movie was good but the book was great. Everything that was missing in the movie was answered and satisfied in the book but be prepared with tissues in hand.
Rating: Summary: Once you pick it up you won't want to put it down! Review: The Horse Whisperer is addictive. It's such a great book with such intricate characters. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone no just horse lovers.
Rating: Summary: LOUSY!!! Review: The book started well but quickly fizzled out and towards the end degenerated into something like a really nauseating Mills & Boon.The parts of the book dealing with the horses were the only redeeming features - not enough of them though. I wish there was some kind of money-back scheme for lousy books.
Rating: Summary: Enriching and Seductive Review: I was completly sucked in. Anyone who loves horses or animals will love this book! Emoitional, intense, seductive, and unique, this book will give you goose bumps.
Rating: Summary: touching Review: brilliant book. HAs you wondering thoughout how it can possibly end??? Good read.
Rating: Summary: Three words, I LOVED IT! Review: I really can't say how much I loved this book. The laguage was beautifully written in such a sense that it would wrap itself around your tounge and make you keep reading. Evens' research was outstanding! I loved every bit of it. This could be because I am such a book lover or because I'm addicted to horses. Who knows? But personally, I think it's because it's such a wonderful book. One of the parts I enjoyed the most was the ending and I don't see why everyone dislikes it so much. Anyway, I loved it, and I hope other people feel the same way.
Rating: Summary: Hackneyed, Cliched, Trite... Review: I wasn't impressed with this book at all. The plot wasn't very interesting and the characters seemed flat and unsympathetic. Evans' research is impressive, but it was not enough to salvage this book.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book...bad ending! Review: I was so excited to read this book...I had been waiting and waiting and finally read it at the beach. Let me first say that I also LOVED the movie and had seen the movie before reading it and had huge hopes for this book. I did, in fact, LOVE it! I loved all the characters. I thought they were realistically portrayed and the dialogue was true-to-life! The descriptions of everything from the Montana scenery to the horses' expressions were so detailed, that you are engrossed from the first page. I was disappointed with the ending of the book! And I am glad that they decided to change it in the movie!! But you will have to see for yourself! SO, go on and READ IT!
Rating: Summary: An All-Around Fantastic Debut! Review: Having heard very little about the book or the film, I picked up The Horse Whisperer basically on a whim, and found myself completely glued from the very start. Evan's work as a screenwriter serves him wonderfully in this masterful novel, as the scenery is described so vividly that its cinematic quality is more than palpable. He draws you into a powerful world of emotions and hope, simplicity and underneath it all, that primal animality that pervades all of us. What a way he has with developing his characters too! Every one of them had a separate and unmistakable identity, personality, and history that Evans fleshes out skillfully. however, the story itself was depressing and uncomfortable...I felt angry and disappointed for Robert, Annie's husband, for having to suffer through so much on account of no mistake of his own. And the extremely lucid love scene between Tom and Annie made me feel like getting up to go take a shower. The ending blew me away though...and after I read it, I surely was able to forgive Evans the raunchy events of pages past. I look forward to reading The Loop!
