Book Reviews of Flying Changes: A Novel
Book Review: Sara Gruen creates fantastic characters
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical that Gruen's "other work" would be as good as "Water for Elephants" which is one of my favorite all-time reads, but it is. "Flying Changes" is just as good. Although it's a sequel, you don't NEED to read the first one. However, if you plan to read both, you should do it in order. Flying Changes is a fast read, with lots of dialogue. The character development is excellent -- I especially like the main character, Annemarie, because I totally relate to her crazy thought patterns & thinking process. Very enjoyable & fun read. There are a few (tame) sex scenes, so if you are giving these books as a gift, they may not be suitable for teens.Book Review: flying changes and a boring read
Summary: 1 Stars
As I was reading, I swore the story was a parody; no way could this be by the same author who wrote WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. Flying Changes is what I imagine a spoiled, pampered middle school girl would write with the certainty of someone who's Mom thinks is super smart and cute to boot! A W F U L. Nothing to learn about horses nor the magical connection between man and beast. Just a series of "after school" TV type adventures of a divorced Mom and her determined daughter.
Nothing believable. So incredibly boring--AMAZON, was this really written by the same author as WATER FOR ELEPHANTS?
Book Review: Flying Changes is a led zepplin
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading Water for Elephants, which I adored, I immediatly went to Amazon and ordered Sara Gruen's other 2 books; one of which being Flying Changes. I was disappointed from the get-go. It was less than sophmoric and drab. I forced myself to keep reading thinking "It's gotta get better - look at how genious Elephants was." That'll teach me to think. I gave up on it yesterday after getting about 3/4 of the way through it. I started "Where's My Wand" and am extremely pleased. I'm afraid to even open the other Sara Gruen book - it may just lie under my bed in and hide in shame.Book Review: excellent quality book

The story was fast paced and as a 40 something women with a teenage daughter and horses...I could totally relate. I hope she writes a third book in this series...I will pre-order...
