Summary: Star over Sterling?????????????
Review: O.K., so maybe Christina has a bond with Star, but she had a bond with Sterling, too. I think she should have had other people help out with Star until he found someone else he loved, (maybe Ashleigh, his dam's owner?). After all, in books 24-33, Christina thought Sterling was the world's best horse and loved her more than anything!! Think of how poor Sterling must have felt, one day a treasured pet, the next totally ignored by Christina,(who she thinks the world of) and sent off to live in a whole new stable where Christina hardly even visits! Get a life, Christina! Horses are such loving, trusting, faithful, forgiving, willing creatures, (I speak from experiance having a horse of my own, Lucky, who I will never part with) so how can you just drop them for another horse after all they've done for you? If I sound angry, I am! I don't think Ashleigh ever did that to Wonder! Christina is SPOILED, I don't care WHAT you say!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book, but whats the problem with Star and Christina?
Review: Okay so Chris was kinda stupid to sell Sterling for Star. But Star has a bond with Chris and vice-versa. Ashleigh rushed to get Chris to become a jockey and what's the common reaction? Of course she would sell Legacy everyone knows that. And winning a ton? Well that's what Ash did and you're not screaming at her for winning. It's kind of genetic isn't it? Anyway Star is Wonder's youngest son he didn't do anything wrong. I think you guys are too harsh on Star and Chris. Well about the book it is extremely good. When Chris does her tests for racing it has very good detail about how frustrated she gets and while she's racing Star, also very good detail. It really describes the bond between them. Besides Pride's Challenge and a few other books this is one of my favorite books. You should listen to what I said above, though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Geesh ...
Review: Okay, people are taking this too seriously, Star depended on
Christina, she had to do something. Besides, in that book and in
#36 and #37 she was still eventing .. by the time she became
a jockey she'd been doing it for three years .. so yeah she took up racing.

The book rocked! I'm glad Christina finally made the right choice and became a jockey!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was ok
Review: This book was ok but I have to admit I liked the other booksmuch better. Once Christina started racing the series stopped gettinggood. i liked the earlier christina jumping books better , Close Call was awesome tho. I think that from books 38-40 it gets boring because they dont really talk about the horse much just about christina and melanie wanting to get more wins to become a "real" jockey. I liked the samantha books better. I like Christina should go back to jumping like Parker and that star should be an event horse. Or at least they should focus on the horse again like in the ashleigh, samantha and cindy books. but parts of it were ok.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book, but whats the problem with Star and Christina?
Review: This is my all time favorite Thoroughbred book! It was so good! Star is going to be sent back to Townsend Acres unless he can win one of his first two races, but Star won't run for anyone but Christina. Christina doesn't want to race, but she loves Star! Will Christina go against herself to save her beloved colt? I love the way that Christina goes for it because of Star. She really loves him, just like Ashleigh loved Wonder. It is Ashleigh all over again and that is part of the reason I loved this book so much! Christina and Star are an awesome team and will always be together! :)
