4.0 out of 5 stars Get to know the man behind the mysteries., Feb 24 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sport of Queens: His Updated Autobiography (Paperback)
Found this book in our library and was excited about learning more of Dick Francis. I did get lost at times when he wrote about the race courses, but it was a thrill to get to know him. It is not a mystery, but there are some questions he still does not know the answer to. He writes a book a year, and I could read 4 or 5 of his books a year if he could write them that fast! Nice read.

5.0 out of 5 stars True insight into the man behind the works, Jan 19 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sport of Queens: His Updated Autobiography (Paperback)
My passion for horses and horse racing was apparent even when I was a child. Dick Francis' books allowed me the experiences I dreamed of through his words. I learned more through his books than I could have anywhere else in the United States. It is said that truth is stranger than fiction, and Mr. Francis' autobiography is testimony to that! I now own a 5 year old (retired) Thoroughbred, and Mr. Francis' adventures are in my thoughts!

5.0 out of 5 stars very informative on the sport, Oct 20 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sport of Queens: His Updated Autobiography (Paperback)
This book is a must have for any Dick Francis or horse racing fan. This was the first book of his that i have read and now i have all of his so far. What i was looking for was a book to tell me about this little known sport. Now i know a great deal about it. I'm hoping for a newer version to tell about what has happened since the book waas written. I read the older 1950's or 1960's print with the pictures of Devon Loch in the Grand National. That was what most intrigued me about the story and what made him fall like that. Like i said this is an excellent book and very informative!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-read for Dick Francis fans.
This book was originally written shortly after Francis' retirement from racing. It chronicles his life in detail up to that point (1957), and all fans of his mystery novels will... Read more
