good book, but can't please everyone

I thought this book was good. But i also have to admit, i picked it up for the first time and put it back on the shelf thinking it wouldn't have enough horses in it. I went back and got it, and loved it. To all those people out there who are complaining that there are not enough horses in it, Ms. Bryant can't please everyone. The characters are not perfect, but not awful. To all you readers, I hope you will give Pine Hollow a try. This book displays teen views and problems in real life, plus it talks about horses. Also for me, if i wanted more INFORMATION about horses, I would just get a real book on horses. I think it is great what Ms. Bryant is doing with her new series. The characters are growing up, so she should write them like they are. Your books are great Ms. Bryant, keep up the good work!

GOOD!

I thought this book was good, the girls still seem real horse crazy but they seem more aware of the world , like theyve got real life problems. They dont seem to have changed too much, but ive a question what happened to Veronica DiAngelo? Anyway i would recomend this book, it was a good read!

Pine Hollow are cool!

Cpaw back again. I've been reading saddle Club for a long time, the first one I read was #8 horse show, and I fell in love with the series then. I still love saddle club, but i'm getting older and like to read more relationships and life problems and things like that, so I was quite pleased but a little wary when I first read about Pine Hollow in the back of a SC. I was a little worried they would end up like the Thoroughbred series do over time, dropping out characters and mostly ignoring the old ones. But I got a great surpise when I finally found The Long Ride - it was great! I loved it! It was the perfect combination of Horses and private lives, I know some poeple think they focus too much on non-horse related problems, and I suppose this is true. If you want the sort of books that always focus on horses and always have a happy ending, read Saddle club or Thoroughbred. These are much more like real life. In the story, Stevie is excited about her new drivers licence, she spends more time driving than taking care of belle - but its not like she neglects her like Carole with starlight later on. You can tell Stevie is still the same, she goes and gets a delivery job as soon as she gets her licence! Carole is still Horse-crazy and now has a job at Pine Hollow..... I also like new characters like Ben and Callie, I think Ben and Carole would make a good couple! There was some faults though, I think Kate and Christine should get a mention, a book out west would be nice. And what about John, he and Lisa were going out wern't they? Hold on, i havn't read all the saddle clubs yet, they're hard to get hold of over here so i've only read about half, so they could of broken up in a book i didn't read. I would also like to see the return of Enrico - wasn't lisa going out with him at the same time as John? Hhhmmm...

finally happy

After reading the saddle club book I was getting worried because as I grew older the girls never seemed to. No matter now many times Carol had a birthday she never got older. Now I finally feel they have caught up. I started reading them when I was 10 and I'm now 17 so feel that this new series is making the saddle club more realistic. I am having problems though with should I continue getting the saddle club series whilst buying the pine hollow series.

Finally, A Series More on My Level

When I was in second grade, I started reading the Saddle Club series by Bonnie Bryant. There were a total of about 15 books about Stevie, Carol, and Lisa. I loved the books. I kept reading them and buying them as they came out. When I was a older and in 5th and 6th grade I was getting a little old for the series and was reading them more and more sparingly. Now Im in 8th grade and hardly ever read the Saddle Club. They were just to juvenile and never got older. But when Pine Hollow: The Long Ride came out, I was very excited and couldn't wait to read it. I finally got my hands on it and couldn't stop reading. It had much more of a plot than the other books and was definitely more up to my standards. It also contained other things besides horses to make the book more interesting. I loved every word of it. Thanks Mrs. Bryant and keep up the good work!
