The Sport of Kings by C.E. Morgan
3.0
This book has split me in two.
I love it: Its is a 4.5 star.
Look there is some beautiful writing here. For example there is a stunning scene where one of the female protagonists has sex with a stranger in the back seat of a car during a rain storm. The two family sagas are intriguing too with an interesting twist or two at the end.
I hate it. It should be a DNF and does not even deserve a single star.
Unfortunately, at there is at least two hundred pages of complete self- indulgent, convoluted, overwritten mess. When a molecular biologist is bored by Genetics, trust me it was bring.
So overall a DNF worthy book saved from time to time by flashes of brilliance. If someone crafty editor would get their hands on it an cut out 50% of the text – there may actually be a great book buried somewhere below.
In my opinion it did not deserve its place on the Bailey's short list and I will be most disappointed if it wins.
