Where have the horses gone?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Wind (Paperback)
I originally started reading Dick Francis' mysteries because of the connection to the horse world. While Second Wind is very well written, there was practically no connection to horses whatsoever. Some of Mr. Francis's other current novels showed this omission, and I sincerely hope he will bring back horses and their influence in his stories.

One of My Favorites,
By Kathy "graywrite" (Winona, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Second Wind (Paperback)
When I want to read a book that teaches me something, offers some wisdom, and thoroughly engrosses me in a great story, there's no one I'd rather read than Dick Francis. For a man who began writing about horse racing, he has delved into an amazing range of knowledge, including in this case, weather knowledge and hurricanes. He's also deeply wise about relationships, inner motivation, and life. I've never been to a horse race but I'd walk a mile for a Dick Francis book.

Big Disappointment!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Second Wind (Paperback)
I have read most of Mr. Francis' books and have thoroughly enjoyed every one of them until Second Wind. I kept thinking, Dick Francis did NOT write this book! I found this to be one of a handful of books, in my lifetime, that I quit reading before the book ended. Toward the end of this book, I was so confused about what was happening that I could barely follow the story. I also had lost all interest in the characters and didn't give a hoot what happened to them! My initial excitement about a new Dick Francis novel quickly turned to disappointment. Go back to the old tried-and-true formula, Mr. Francis, and don't ever use a "ghost writer" again!
