Title: A struggle...
Review: to get through. I kept praying for this to finally wrap up. It was somewhat informative and had its interesting moments-hard not to when such fascinating characters are involved. But, put it this way, I felt like the writing detracted from the story rather than added to it. The author took a piece of horseracing history that should quicken the heart and instead made it drag on and on. It's as if she couldn't distinguish between the totally uninteresting details and those that should have been in the spotlight. The result was finding boredom while looking for and expecting entertainment. Totally anticlimactic. I'd recommend passing on this. If you want a magnificent story that's eloquently rendered, check out Ruffian: Burning from the Start by Jane Schwartz.
