I stopped about half way. Reasons: by the middle of the story I should have had an idea of the main thrust of the story. The "why I should keep reading" element. Didn't see it. Plus there was an awful lot of religion being shoved down my throat. I've read literally hundreds of horse stories in my life. Never have I felt the need for a dose of Christianity with my barn dirt. The actual horse bits were authentic and realistic and were enjoyable. Maybe someday I'll finish it. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Daughter went GAGA but my son got bored and left the room. My daughter is in grade school and my son is in junior high. He usually doesn't mind "girl-stories," but this one didn't work for him. It may have been the religious aspects (yeah, there is some, and he doesn't go for that).My younger daughter went with the flow and enjoyed it all. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This was an amazing story. I enjoyed not only the story line but the commentator who read the book also. This one is great for children, I listened to it in my car with my children who also enjoyed it a lot. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. A very nice listen and story. I really enjoyed how the characters progressed throughout the story. Horse breeding and training are detailed in the story. A great read for teens and preteens!
I listened to this book with my 9 year old son, whom I am homeschooling. Although the book took quite a while to pick up in pace, it was almost as though we were watching each and every part unravel! The book was very interesting and detailed, the most favorable part was how the author changed her voice, from mother, to father, to daughter and back again. For those who enjoy a good fictional book, and one in which is child friendly, I would certainly recommend this to every family. I tells a tail of a single horse in who was unfortunate to be different from all of the others. The father who was very disapproving of the horse at first begins to accept it as the horse shows his true talents and purpose. Moral of the story "Never judge a book by its cover" "The Georges and the Jewels" bears none of the signs of a literary writer slumming it for the kids -- no condescension, just the keen interest in what makes life tick that animates all of Smiley's fiction, but with a seventh-grade narrator. I have never admired her writing as much as I do in the first of what promises to be a series of books for children. Appartiene alle SeriePremi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
