ok book - the movie better,
By
This review is from: The Horse Whisperer (Paperback)
I finally got around to reading this book - what a bunch of unlikable characters! The mom is pushy, rude, sometimes mean and knows she's the only one in the world who knows whats right for everyone else. This woman would never load up a crazy horse and drive 1/2 way cross the country - she would have just shipped him and sent instructions. And if the horse is as bad as they make him out to be we are to believe they got him in a trailer and she (a non-horse person) handled him for the whole trip? The dad just floats along in her wake. The daughter, who should be the main character, is believeable. Teenagers that age do think the world revolves around them. She believes she is responsible for everything bad thats happening in her world: the accident that damages her and her horse, her parents marriage problems, her mother's affair, even her mother being fired. Anyone with a teenager will relate to the silent treatment. Tom the horse whisperer is a nice man. He smiles quietly as those around him praise him for his genius while just using common sense. It is totally unbelieveable to me that he and mom would get to together. The last chapter or two are totally unbeliviable - too contrived. Give me a break!! The movie ending was 1000% better.

Melodramatic ending ruins an otherwise great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Horse Whisperer (Hardcover)
While I was reading this book, I would have given it 5 stars -- excellent writing, engaging characters, page-turning storyline. Then, it's like someone else decided to finish the book for Evans -- someone who didn't read the first 3/4 of the book. The ending is so ridiculously bad that I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. I don't have difficulty with sad endings, but this ending is too absurd to even be sad. You might as well rent the movie instead. (Something I very rarely recommend.) They created a different ending that actually fits the rest of the book.

This is a wonderful book with a terribly unoriginal ending.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Horse Whisperer (Paperback)
This book deserves all its numerous accolades until the reader reaches the last ten or so pages and then the novel is pure garbage. Tom Booker is a noble man who would never let a horse stomp him to death just because he couldn't have a very selfish woman for himself. The horse should have killed the woman and Tom could then have married the horse!
