Negative Positive
Title: Sorry, this is just NOT a good book.
Review: It's written in a breezy, "I know you won't believe this, but..." manner that overlooks basic character motivations. It is filled with stereotypes. How does the heroine know, for example, that the t-shirt seller she gallops past in Central Park on a Park Ranger's horse is "a little Filipino man"? Sorry, but I cannot recommend a book where ALL African-American women wear door-knocker earrings. If you're looking for an adult book about horses, try BARBARA DIMMICK, or JODY JAFFE if you want a mystery. Props to Banks, though, for quoting "Heads Up, Heels Down". Now THERE'S a book I'd rather read.
Is the review positive or negative?
