The Betsy Takes A Stallion

This is really a great book. I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it. I actually had not read, its precurser, The Betsy so was unfamiliar with the background information, charactors etc. This was not a problem as all things became obvious just by reading the book. It is not a hard book to understand. Its got all the hallmarks that make a Robbins a great and entertaining read. Reviewing The Stallion makes me want to read it again!

Only Robbins can deliver it!

The Stallion is fairly a new novel compared with others written by the Harold Robbins. Once again, Robbins has proved his genius skill as a story teller. The Stallion revolves around the guy Angelo Perino, who is gathers his life after being dumped by the company he worked for, and takes his revenge. Don't forget to add lots of sex, money, and luxuries that only Harold Robbins can imagine vividly. Though I read the so called prequel "The Betsy" after reading "The Stallion", you actually don't miss much of any storyline, so even if you have not read "The Betsy" it is ok to go ahead and read this book. My all time favorite is "Dreams Die First" and "The Stallion" comes second. If you are a fan of Robbins (like me), then don't look any further, grab a copy and read it.

Enjoyable Book!

After reading "The Carpetbaggers," I couldn't wait to get my hands on a few more books by this fun writer. "The Stallion," is another wonderful read.

Good Read

As a long time fan of Harold Robbins, I've read most of his more popular novels, but not The Betsy, which is the precursor to The Stallion. However, one not need have read the former to understand what is going on in the latter. The Stallion is vintage Harold Robbins, and IMO, one of his best stories. I couldnt help but wonder whether the XB electric car in the story was a case of art imitating life or vice versa. Whichever you choose, it was a fascinating insight into the world of sports cars.

Harold Robbin's "The Stallion" ROCKS!!!!!!

The Stallion, is a beautiful piece of artwork, and anyone that disagrees obviously cannot appreciate on of the greatest men's work that ever lived. The Stallion rocks!!!
