Summary: Exceptional horse story.
Review: To me the "people story" is second to the "horse story". I
imagined one of my horses being in such a terrible accident
and how he would react -or how I would react. An awesome
story that I passed on to my vet and her assistant, my best
friend and my farrier. They all were moved by the
feelings so aptly described. Can't wait for the movie.

Summary: Enriching body a poor ending
Review: I could not put this book down. The body of this book andthe way the author goes into detail of his subjects is great reading. It filled me with great emotion. But the endof the book seemed uncharacteristic of what the"Horsewhisperer" would have done. It just didn't make any since to me. I'm sure the author wanted the readerto be shocked, but did he want his readers to feel empty

Summary: light reading, entertaining
Review: I read this book as part of my study of Tibet. I became fascinated by the stories of Tibetans who can allegedly communicate with animals.
The author knew about this phenomenon but didn't quite develop it to my satisfaction.
It's a good story though, I read it in two sittings.

Summary: An absolute must read!
Review: A rare look into the world of mothers and daughters, husbands and lovers, and the conflict between the city and the wide open spaces of Montana. The author speaks volumes in his ability to express the feelings between a man and his horse. After loaning this book to several friends, I am confident that I am not alone in saying that the laundry, dirty dishes, and marketing for dinner were are all neglected until it was finished

Summary: I thought the author did a wonderful job for his first book
Review: I really liked this book. It was gripping and kept you in
suspense until the very end. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. It was a wonderful tale for those of us who are
animal lovers!
I hope Nicholas Evans writes more books. I will definitely buy his books.

Summary: Bridges of Madison County North
Review: Why did I think that I would glean some spiritual insights from this book? I was not sympathetic to the characters, and think the author is fortunate, indeed, to have gotten in on the slipstream of "Bridges"
Rating:
Summary: A book to wake the spirit we sometimes forget we have.

husband, mother, best friend...

Summary: KUDOS :)
Review: I better begin with saying that my husband has already labeled the movie a "chick flick" only because of the emotion involved with the story. We haven't seen the movie yet, but I am looking VERY forward to it. And yes, I have read some very negative reviews about this book, and I found only 2 things that allowed me only to give it a 4 star rating. 1-I agree with is that Evans could have developed the plot a litte more due to some gaps in the story, but overall I couldn't put it down. 2-I don't think he needed all the "romance novel writing" for it to be an enticing story.This story has a range of emotions to which EVERY reader can relate.Evans has an incredible way of drawing you into the characters, which made the story much more enjoyable. Evans made me laugh, cry and it is refreshing to have an ending that isn't the PC type ending that everyone supposedly wants. I guess I also like the story, because I saw an interview with Evans and some of the folks he "studied" for his characters. This kind of research allowed Evans to "know" his characters, thus being able to portray a realistic version of them in the story. He made his story accessible to our psyche. I feel all of us can relate to and/or know someone like one or more of the characters in this book. I can understand why Redford snatched up this story. It has all the makings of a GREAT movie and I am looking forward to seeing how Mr. Redford plays out the ending. So, KUDOS! Mr. Evans...AWESOME BOOK! I am looking forward to reading your next book "The Loop."
