Summary: Cliched romantic garbage totally lacking in imagination.
Review: This book starts out promisingly and, at least for about 170 pages (paperback), it seems like it's going to be the story of three people -- a mother, father, and their injured daughter -- and an injured horse (and what's done to save him). That alone would have been enough to make a good book, but, of course, the author went for the movie deal and tied in a romance -- cliched, of course, between the mother and a cowboy who's written to look like Robert Redford -- that's a copy of The Bridges of Madison County. If only he had just stuck to the girl and the horse ... What a ripoff! They could at least package this as a romance novel, then I would've known not to buy it. Instead, I feel as if somebody snuck into my wallet and pulled out $7.99.

Summary: Perdictable Bridges of Madison County With Horses
Review: Too, perdictable, I was able to determine what was going to occur way too early in the book. Very weak ending. Read if you don't want to be mentally challenged!
Rating:
Summary: Inane. Banal. Dull.
Review: Actually, one star is too high a rating for this book. I kept going, thinking it might improve...who could have known what manipulative manure waited for me? What, exactly was the author going for here? If he was trying for a artistic version of bodice ripping romantic novels, he succeded. All he needed was Fabio on the cover instead of the horse... If you love The Bridges of Madison County (ugh!) you'll love this one....wild horses or wild horse whisperers won't be able to drag me to the film version of this either...

Summary: Overwrought and banal
Review: Will America never tire of stories where the primary vehicle for personal growth is an extra-marital affair? This story has been done before- and so much better! It reads like a third-rate soap opera, and that's saying alot for the love-making scenes. It's too bad- because Annie was a very likeable character, and the book could have been really interesting. As it was, the only emotion I felt at the end was relief that I had borrowed the book, and not purchased it.

Summary: Why did Evans tire of writing????
Review: This was a terrific story until the last 100 pages - then it became a formula romance novel! I loved the tension, descriptions, everything - until the end. I felt let down in the end. I don't think Tom Booker would have reacted as he did in the book in real life - in Annie's mind, perhaps, but not in real life.

Summary: I hope the movie is better than the book!
Review: This book is terrible! I don't know how it climbed to the top of the best-seller list. I felt no compassion for either the human or equine characters. They both are as flat as cardboard! I hated the story and only hoped it would end quickly to put me out of my misery. Since the story reads more like a screenplay than a novel, I'd suggest that the author stick to writing films and leave the writing of novels to others.

Summary: Emotional, well-written - I loved it ! !
Review: I just finished this book 10 minutes ago and have to say I will wait anxiously for Evans' next book. I think this story was written beautifully and believably, with a setting that couldn't have been more perfect in my opinion. Evans' writing style totally engrossed me so that I loved the characters and thought about the book when I was unable to read. The love story was the best (light and touching, not trashy) and the relationship between mother and daughter was very real and believable. My only change would be to add more pages detailing the workings with the horse, since that was, I thought, the focus of the book. All in all, I loved it. Keep em coming, Nicholas Evans ! !

Summary: Not enough about the horse
Review: I bought the book thinking there would be more about the horse in it, but I guess it was about the "Horse Whisperer" not the horse. I thought it dragged on in parts, but I still cried while reading it.
Rating:
Summary: wonderful and engrossing.
Review: This book was hard to put down. It held my attention to the very end and the ending was alittle predictable but still a good book nevertheless. I bought it as a whim after hearing all of the good reviews and was not disappointed. You could really get inside the characters' heads and know how they felt. That is a sign of a good book.
Rating: 
Summary: THE BEST
Review: This book brought me to my knees. I felt myselt wanting to keep on reading it, even after I finished it. It was very inspiring to me. I love horses and people. The connection between them in this book was just great
