I never gave horse racing a second thought before this book! It made me gasp with excitement sometimes, as if I was watching a race play out on the pages. Hillenbrand is an incredibly talented writer. Team Biscuit forever
emotional inspiring medium-paced

I was surprised at how much I loved this book. It was about much more than horses and horse racing. It really opens your eyes to the human and animal lifestyle of the racing world, and for the love humans and animals can have for one another.
inspiring reflective slow-paced

Well-researched, incredibly nuanced, loved how much perspective we are getting from all the characters! Red, Woolf, Seabiscuit, Man O War, War Admiral, Smith

Hillenbrand has a knack for writing non-fiction.
I was captured quickly, and gripped by the stroy of Seabiscuit. I've never been much for horses or racing, but this was a page-turner regardless.
Well done. 10/10 would recommend highly.
