This is the story of a racehorse, Seabiscuit, who became a darling of the public during the Great Depression. Back then racing was big in America and a lot of people saw their own struggles reflected in this underdog horse and his winning spirit. This is the kind of book that reviewers love to say r...
I wasnt sure if I would like this as I usually don't get excited about sports related writing but this book was extremely interesting and suspenseful. Definitely a "root for the underdog" kind of story. The challenges this jockey and horse went through are unreal! Plus it was neat to read all the fa...
The only reason why I'm giving this book 2 stars, is that it was a little bit better than fifty shades of Grey, and I don't think they deserve to be in the same categories.
This review is not to revere SeaBiscuit, he doesn’t need me to expound upon his virtues, he’s already won the honors of the greatest racehorse in history and you would be a fool not to read this book and enjoy the ride; this review is to honor the author Laura Hillenbrand. Never have I seen such pa...
Yes, Seabiscuit was a genius. For a horse, he was a genius. I love this author. I love Seabiscuit. I just loved the whole thing. And I hate horse racing as a sport because it is simply exploitation of horses for gambling profits. But because Seabiscuit was such a treasure, I was willing to overlook ...
★★★★★ I LOVE this book! I have the full novel in the commemorative pictorial, the DVD, and now the audiobook, wonderfully narrated by Campbell Scott. Ms. Hillenbrand has researched her topic well, but she brings it to the page with insight, humor and an emotional depth that make it additive. You ...
Even if you're not a fan of horse racing, you will LOVE this engaging story of one of the greatest horses of all time. This was one of those rare books for me that I was sad to finish, and so I started reading it all over again. It's THAT good, trust me.. (Update on 8/16/2010) I am, with pleasu...
After having achieved fame and winning races all over the place, there was a great deal of pressure to run Seabiscuit in a match race against War Admiral, his blood relative who was cleaning up the tracks in the East. After finally making the arrangements for a race at Belmont in late 1939, not so ...
This is one of my guilty pleasures: one of those story-behind-the-story books (though actually, like many of them, this was the inspiration for the "front" story—the movie, that is). But it's an interesting enough story, so who really cares if they made a movie out of it, or even if that's how I dis...
