I'm a hard sell with nonfiction unless it's super easy to read, and this was one of those. Of course, it didn't help at all that I'm an avid horse lover, horse-racing lover, and all that jazz. Very, very good. Did I say that already?? YUP–Have read it, decided to buy it–absolutely LOVE the book! I’m a hard sell with nonfiction unless it’s super easy to read, and this was one of those.

I should have ignored what she said, because she and I don't tend to have similar tastes in movies, so I don't know why I thought it'd be different this time. I will have to watch the movie and tell you guys what I think. :-) Stephanie >> Definitely read the book sometime. The author is excellent at making you feel like you're right there, living the story. Choopixie >> Uh oh! LOL! Maybe I won't like the movie as much after all. :-} I will have to watch it and see...

Didn't think I would like it so much. And I agree with Stephanie. If I read the book first, I wouldn't enjoy the movie at all. I'd be sitting there and critique the whole movie to death instead of just relaxing and enjoying it. LOL. I love the movie too. Didn’t think I would like it so much. And I agree with Stephanie.

I was curious. And I'm not a horse person, per se, either. I have not read the book, but I did enjoy the movie and the story that I took the trouble to read after seeing the film. I was curious.
