Book Reviews of Seabiscuit
Book Review: Seabiscuit
Summary: 5 Stars
Seabiscuit is an inspirational story about a horse and a jockey. This story has taught a lot about trust courage and responsibility and to believe in yourself no matter who puts you down. The story is about a horse that is to small and not fast and the jockey is to tall and blind in one eye so it impairs him to see upcoming horses. They learn to work together and trust each other through life and the tough challenges that life comes with. The story has taught me a lot about challenges that we face and the mistakes that we do not care about until they effect our next decision in life. The story tells a lot about the challenges that they face when they each do not care anymore about winning. Along the way they face the challenges that some they do not care about and that effects the decision they make along the way. In reading the story making the right decision makes a difference in the future and affects your goals in life and effects where you will be in the future. this book is great for anyone who feels that they can not succeed in life and figure out where they want to go or what they want to be in the future.Book Review: The little horse that could!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
WHen i say the little horse that could i mean that he truly could run that pants off anything with a jocky on it's back. the biscuit ususally ran with 25 more pounds than other horses and still ran like he was going to lift off the ground.When Howard and Smith got ahold of this little horse he had been abused and hated to run and not to metion that he hated people which wasn't like him.
well when THe two legendary men turned him around to a running fool he was matched up with the legenedary War Admiral and then went for the Santa Anita Handicap. I truly belive that this is one of the best books of it's time. I hate to mention it but my mom was right the book is better than the movie. I loved all 23 chapters of this book especially the ending. So read it and find out how all of the pain, blood, and hard time and work paid off for this little horse that could.
Book Review: Words can't explain the "biscuit"
Summary: 5 Stars
this book had me up on the edge of my seat all the way through giving me bone chilling moments and weeping tears of joy. I hate to say this but my mom was right the book IS better than the movie. Usually i don't read unless i half to but if you have a special interest in the best sport known to man(horseracing) then this book is for you. I loved all 23 chapters of the book. The story of Seabiscuit who spends most of his racing career chasing around the all mighty War Admiral, Fighting off lameness, and was abused his first 3 years of his life gave me the most heart warming feeling ever in the last chapter.All the hard work and blood shed paid off for the little horse Seabiscuit. He broke and set many track and world records in his day. Not one horse yet has come along to put out more heart then he.Book Review: DECEPTIVE AD, PACKAGE SAYS, " $14.95 in Big Letters
Summary: 2 Stars
Artwork on cover is VERY different from the ad on Amazon, and makes you look like a cheapskate (see title of this ad), so it's a bad choice as a gift!
As to the narrator (Campbell Scott) , the story, and the wonderful Lauren Hillenbrand, they make it impossible for this deceptive advertising to ruin everything.
Book Review: Absolutely fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Seabiscuit is amazing in the audio book version. I listened to it on the way to work and back. More than once i found myself hands clinched to the steering wheel in my driveway listening. This is the best audio book that i've ever listened to. I hope that you enjoy it.
