Summary: IT CAN'T BE OVER!!![.]
Review: I started Saddle Club Series when I was 6 and then when I found out about Pine Hollow Series I read them in 10 DAYS! I loved them all I couldn't put them down.I want to know what happened to Carole and Ben and all the rest of the gang. I just couldn't believe it when I read that the fire killed Pine Hollow. It touched me! IT WAS A GREAT BOOK!!![.] She needs to make one last one to tell what happened to all of the gang!!![.] I wish she could read this and answer the questions!

Summary: Logical explination for not writing...Please read!!!
Review: I think pine hollow and the saddle club are both excellent series, but i was thinking about B.B. not writing anymore books. I was reading about the author (B.B.) in the back of on of the PH books, it says she live in Greenwich Village in N.Y. As almost all of you know, Osama Bin Laden bombed the twin towers and the pentagon with airplanes... but my point is that The twin towers aren't far from the village, maybe BB hasn't been working on The PH series because of that.its just a thought... But I do think that the saddle club series is going to end with the last book (being #101 best friends), because i think she had too much to deal with. what with Ph being such a success, and the saddle club books can't keep going on for ever and ever, even though i wish she would at least bring them up to the point where PH starts. BB if your reading this; PLEASE KEEP WRITING THE PINE HOLLOW SERIES, YOU ARE GREAT AT WRITING THEM AND YOU CAN'T JUST STOP WRITING WHEN PINE HOLLOW HAS BURNED DOWN!..PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION!..

Summary: Please Write Some More!!!
Review: I think that this was a great book, and I think that it really stinks that the series ended there. I wanted to know more. I wanted to know if they will rebuild or not, and stuff like what happens to Carole and Ben, and Lisa and Scott. This was a fantastic series, and I wish that she hadn't stopped writing it.

Summary: hope its not the last one
Review: I thought this book was great. The ending was really good, but it would be really sad if this book is the last one. It's not as if Bonnie Bryant can't write anyhting else about them. I mean, what happens with Lisa and Scott, Callie's endurance riding, and Stevie's eventing? I definitely still like the series, and I'm sure a lot of other people do too, so there's no reason to end it.

Summary: very good, but a sad ending
Review: I thought this book was REALLY good! It was one of the best written ones. But it was SO sad in the end about what happened to Pine Hollow and those 5 horses. I can't believe it was gone, just like that.But ,this book was definitely very good. I can't wait until the next book!

Summary: Is it the end of Pine Hollow
Review: I want her to write another book so I can find out if Max is going to rebuild the stable. I also think it would be really neat if they could find out that one or more of the horses escaped from the fire and got lost. It would be cool if they found him in the woods. I really hope Bonnie Bryant writes another book in this series!

Summary: and it is done...
Review: I wrote a review on 16 last year, but just went back to this book and reread it. I loved the way that this book was layed out...from beginning to end. It's more than a little sad, how it ends. But it has the perfect cliffhanger closing. It may be the last book of this series, but it left it wide open for a new one, if she so chose. It also leaves it up to your imagination on how things REALLY end.
Overall it is a great book, a good read and a good cry. So grab a tissue, and settle in. You are in for a great book.

Summary: Please...
Review: I'm begging all those who review this book. Do not reveal the ending!! It has wrecked many books for me this way. Also, I truly don't believe that Bryant is wrapping up the series. The character development on the 'new Veronica' is only half done...there is a whole other story to write about that. Even though Bryant has tied up a whole lot of loose ends in this book, she has unraveled a whole collection of new ones to continue this story with.

Summary: Finally this series gets off the ground, only to end?!
Review: I've been a loyal reader of the Saddle Club books for about seven years, though I no longer fit the target age group. I was thrilled to see Pine Hollow providing a more adult view of the characters at first, but have been quite disappointed with the series (except for the brief bit with Lisa's brother) until this book. For the author to have taken 2 years and 8 months, and 17 volumes, to cover 6-8 months is ridiculous in my opinion. It works for the Saddle Club because each book is an adventure with a definite conclusion, but Pine Hollow is more about everyday life. I was so excited to find a series that had a new book every other month, only to find the pace frustratingly slow. Frankly, I would have liked the series to begin with Lisa's parents divorcing so we could have read about how she coped with all the changes - her father's remarriage and the birth of her sister - and I think she should be in college now dealing with her best friends in high school and her new life being so different. I also find Pine Hollow a bit short on equestrian details - Lisa hardly rides at all anymore and Carole and Stevie don't ride near enough to compete at the level in the series. And don't older riders belong to Pony Club? I'm tired of the obligatory rich-kid-with-an-attitude-that-acts-like she-owns-the-stable character, too - let's have some non-typical antagonists! As for all those who were surprised by the final event in #17, I have to wonder if they've read the last few books, since it was pretty well foreshadowed. Despite my disappointment, I have faithfully purchased every volume as soon as I could find it on the store shelf in hopes that this series would improve. Now that it has it appears to be finished. Aaaaghhhh! Perhaps Bonnie Bryant will see all the reviews in favor of Pine Hollow continuing and decide to resume writing it. I think it would be a real shame for the characters to fade out like this. It seems the Saddle Club books will end with #100, since the preview in #99 seems to allude to Lisa's parents splitting up. A faster pace and maybe bigger books would be welcome, even if they were published less frequently, and the college experiences could be great, especially with more equine stuff - universities have equestrian teams, you know!

Summary: Full Gallop
Review: Life is changing at Pine Hollow. Lisa has accepted things will never be the same as they were with Alex, and is looking forward to an exciting future with Scott; a relationship she thinks could really turn into something, despite a few problems. Carole and Ben are working harder than ever at the stable, and she has never been happier. The expansion to house the ever-increasing rush of boarders is exciting, even though it's a little hard for her to see Pine Hollow changing so much. Stevie's throwing herself into training for eventing, and Callie's finally enjoying working with Scooby now that George is gone for good. Everyone's looking forward to a bright and happy future now that they've put the problems of the past behind them. But one event can change everything, as the road to the future takes a sudden turn for the worse.Full Gallop was an excellent conclusion to the Pine Hollow series. All the unanswered questions from the previous books were answered, but it wasn't a cheezy tie-up-all-loose-end-so-we-can-finally-finish-the-series book. I really liked reading it, and I cried at the end, which I'm NOT going to give away. It was funny to see the new Veronica at the barn, a stuck-up 12 year old with too much money and not enough brains, and I liked seeing Carole getting somewhere with Ben, as well as Alex with Nicole. I gave it five stars because it's a book any Pine Hollow fan should read, and it was worth the wait.
