Title: Puerile and pernicious!
Product review: This book is fundamentally disappointing for two reasons. First, imagine a story where a husband with a loving wife and recently crippled child suddenly falls for his kid's physical therapist. He's finally found his one true soul mate. How moving right? Wrong -- he's a self-centered cad (particularly if the therapist is half his wife's age). So why aren't stories like this and Bridges of Madison County treated the same? Secondly and more importantly, the Horse Whisperer treats the crippled kid like some sort of stage prop in the narcistic mom's adolescent fantasy. Its implies that life's real meaning doesn't spring from parenthood and marriage (or any of the ordinary relationships in life) but only from finding a down home hunk in a cowboy hat who talks to horses. Ugh.
