REFREASHING

Riding Lessons was an incredible read. A refreashing story that touched my heart in more ways than one. As soon as I was done, I purchased the sequel, Flying CHanges. Facts and situations in regards to the horse world are right one and the descriptive writing creates the movie for your mind. You won't be disappointed!!

Good Story - Anne Marie is Obnoxious

I became a fan of Sara Gruen's after reading her wonderful novel, Water For Elephants, so I decided to try her first book Riding Lessons. This review is based on the audio version.

When Anne Marie Zimmer was 18, she was a world class equestrian. One day during a competition, a tragic accident destroyed her riding career. Anne Marie was in a coma and her beloved horse Harry had to be put to death. Once she recovered she marries, has a bratty daughter, and eventually gets divorced. Now 20 years shes heads for her parents horse farm in New Hampshire when she learns her father is dying. The story continues, and her life once again changes.

There were times when I was so sick on Anne Marie's whining, I wanted to end it all, but despite this, it was a sweet story so I had to continue. It is totally different than Water For Elephants, but none the less a good read.

Another easy read by Sara Gruen

This is story about a woman taking charge of her life and reclaiming part of it that was lost. One of my favorite things about this author is how easy it is to read her books and read them quickly. Also she imparts a lot of information in her books and I walked away knowing a lot about horses that I didn't know previously. The romance in the book was sweet but the hardest part was reading about the main character dealing with her Dad's dying from ALS. I cried my eyes out in those sections. I did like this book a lot.
