One of the best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Island Stallion (Paperback)
This is the best book in the Black Stallion series besides the origional Black Stallion! It isn't about the Black so that might be one reason- the author had a fresh start. It is about a boy Steve, who camps on a desert island while staying in the Carribean with a friend. Everyone thinks the island is inhabitable except for a small sandspit. But Steve has a dream about a red stallion on a cliff that seems unaccessable. Or is it a dream? This is a great book and it even got me interested in the Spanish conquistadors. Anyone who likes adventure or horses even a little bit needs to read this!

A Secret A Choice And A Decision,
By "horses423" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Island Stallion (Hardcover)
I absolutly loved this book. It had a story line similar to the Black's but much different in a way. you'll surprised how the slow beginning becomes a fast paced adventure.Steve and his archeologist friend have decided to go camping on Azul Island, an island which seems to be nothing but sheer unscalable cliff. Some how they find a way inside to what seems a beautiful paradise where lives the beautiful Stallion named Flame. Steve imediatly falls in love with the horse who leads the herd of wild horses. But when Flame suffers a terrible defeat only Steve has the power to save him. Now Steve must risk everything. He can bring Flame back to New York and ruin the secret of Azul Island and let Flame's beautiful herd of horses die out or leave him and be forever scarred. Now you must read the book to find out what Steve's decision is.

A MUST for all horse lovers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Island Stallion (Hardcover)
This is a fantastic book about an wild stallion on Azul Island who the Black has met in the Black Stallion and Flame. Steve had dreams about this flame coloured stallion which only became real when he and his friends unlocked the secret of the island on a trip there. This brings them into the heart of an unknown world of horses who lived unseen by humans for centuries. When Steve begins to bond with Flame after Flame's defeat in a battle, he rescues him from death. Steve helps him to recover to finally win back his herd. The ending was the best part when Steve made a decision which would affect Flame's future. Leave him be on the island or take him to live with him in the world of civilisation? I respect his decision and I am glad that Walter Farley made it that way. That was what made the book so great combined with a great description of the enviroment and a real feel for horses. It shows the reader a picture of the wild horses. I think Walter Farley is a wonderful writer, way better than Steven Farley. I love all his books and this is one of his best books. Walter Farley at his best. You can tell he really likes horses a lot.
