Title: Degenerates from a promising start to a cheap ending
Product review: The premise of this book is so fascinating that it is hard not to be swept up into it immediately. The glimpses into the sometimes brutal world of horse training and the kinder gentler alternatives are so interesting that it is too bad the author felt the need to introduce a tawdry and altogether unlikely romance into the mix. The idea that a woman who is so wrapped up with her daughter's needs would betray her for an idealized new-age Marlboro man is so beyond belief that it cheapens the rest of the author's work. Although the author tries to present the perfect hero, he merely betrays his own dearly held stereotypes of women and what (he thinks) they want out of life.
