Christina's Curage #27

this was a great book! i encourage you to read it! it is really exciting! i won't tell you what happens in the book, read it to find out!

Pelope Give The Other Authors A Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok some of the book's with Christina may not be the absalute greatest but COME ON!!!!!!! YOU CAN'T EXPECT THE OTHER AUTHOR'S TO BE PERFECT! Most of the time the book's are great but when i look at the review's I see all of these 1 and 2 star rating's so what is with that?????? This book was well writen and for your information I REALLY ENJOY THE BOOK'S WITH CHRISTINA,DYLAN ECT... AND IF YOU HATE ME FOR THAT SO BE IT!!!!!!!!!! THOROUGHBREDS,ASHLEIGH,AND CHRISTINA RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These books rock!!!

I don't get it why some people say these books rot. They're great! I love the eventing ones just as much as the racing ones, maybe even more because in the racing ones the horses were winning all the time. I know the old characters should still be here but give the new characters a chance! So far they're proving to be better than the old ones! But in #34 I don't know if they're talking about Wonder's Pride or Pride's Chance. On the cover of this book Christina and Sterling really look like a team. For all those people that say Christina is a brat, she was a bit bratty in this one, and in the beginning of #25 when she gets really mad at Melanie. I like the new authors, but I thought that Alice Leonhardt's 'Riding Academy' series was good. Allison Estes is a good author, too. When the Thoroughbred series was devoted to racing, I liked it better when Joanna Campbell wrote them. But the only thing is, is when they didn' consult Ms. Campbell before changing the series to eventing. Please, everyone, give this series a chance! It'll turn out great! I collect these books by the bagfull, I swear I do!

Fantastic!

I love the new books just as much as the old books! All of these books are good, and I love horses and Eventing just like Christina. I think it's great that Sterling and Christina make such a great team. Christina's not a brat and Sterling is great! I highly think everyone who loves horses should read these books--especially this one. They're all so interesting and exciting!

What is everyone's deal?

Okay, I want the racing and Cindy and Samantha back. But, I really still love the TB books just the same! I think it's kind of interesting how they mix up Christina's horse life with her love, but I would much rather perfer the horse life over love life any day. JOANNA PLEASE COME BACK!
