slice98's review against another edition

I liked this book a lot, but I felt it became quite slow and boring to read at times. I rarely felt like I really wanted to pick it up and start reading, so it took me quite some time to finish it. Therefore I decided to give it four stars, since it was a very good book but a bit too slow for my taste.

This book was recommended to me and I won't be lying if I say I started it off with high expectations.
Perhaps this was the reason why I found it hard to complete it at the end. It's a good plot, heart-breaking, and the connections with nature made were beautiful. Written well.
Perhaps I was disappointed due to the expectations I'd attached upon starting it.

This is a gripping story, hard to put down. But I'm not sure the mother was completely believable. A long book but a fast read. A long book, but a fast read. Broken "hearts;" remote and closed off emotions; brought forward by an unusual man who "whispers" to horses. The ending is somewhat contrived (though not nearly so much so as the movie). If you've seen the movie ... the ending is completely different (and better) in the book.

This book has such a great story, and the beginning was the perfect was to start it. I watched the movie after reading it, but the book was much better.
