Summary: kind of boring, but had its good points
Review: i found the writing in this book to be kind of flat. there weren't really any subplots or exciting characters, which left it kind of lacking. however, i was glad someone other than christina was acting like a brat for a change. and it was nice to see that chris and sterling were making progress. i was getting tired of books focused on sterling's bad behavior. also, this is the first time we've really ever seen any of the characters in this series get teased for liking horses. and even though the heavy emphasis on boys at such a young age bothers me (one of the reason i liked the original books was because the women were so independent of men), i guess it's a more realistic portrayal...i just these grouping of books wasn't catering to such a young audience. the older books gave the readers more credit, assuming them to be more mature and interested in other things. i certainly was at that age.
i first purchased this book when it was published several years ago, and i still publish each new book as they come out. i'm very saddened that the series will end soon, and hope the publishers were reconsider.

Summary: a buch of bull on Christina's part
Review: I liked this book but, what the heck happened to Cindy and Max and every one else??? Sure i like jumping but i like reading Joanna's descriptions of the racing industry. This writer, Alison Estes, she needs to actually read the past Thoroughbred books before she continues writing them!! I'm sick of hearing about how cute Dylan is and Sterling's major problems! Christina isn't even realistic about owning Sterling! I mean, she's had the horse for like three months and she expects her to be a perfect event horse!? what i bunch of bull! i ride a horse who is 8 and has been of the track since he was 5 and he still dosn't have every thing down! Christina needs to come down to earth and not expect so much of Sterling. All i have to say is JOANNA! COME BACK!!!!!!

Summary: 1 star -
Review: I really didn't like this book AT ALL! I miss racing soooooo much! That is what mad the series fun to read. Ashleigh and Samantha were the best! I like eventing, but you can read about that in mostly any other horse series. I miss reading about Ash and Sam! Ever since number 24 I have not liked this series, but I kept reading, hoping it would turn back to racing and Ashleigh and Sam and it did in "Without Wonder" I started loving the series again! This book was about Dylan having to make a choice between his horse and Christina and sports...I didn't like it...byt maybe you will...

Summary: I agree with 1st review
Review: These books are great uf you know absoulty nothin about horses i mean 3 months off the track and allready 3ft fences! please! I think that the lady who wrote this book knew nothin about training an event horse- hey im not saying i kno every thin but i am training a little filly to event and i have to say that in 3 years we are where Christina is in 3 months!!! Alos where the heck did Max go and why? Max and Cindy were perfect together! all around pathetic! I wish that Joanna would come back as well! Atleast she wrote the books and knows what had happened before!

Summary: Dlyan's Choice
Review: This book is a great book for kids who love riding, but also love other things. Dlyan gradually stops paying attention to his horse Dakota, and more attention to soccer and sports. His friend Christina Reese is worried about him. At a competion he rushes a jump, and tries to impress a friend from school named Chad. He hurts his horse and leaves him for a soccer game when his horse needs him the most. Will Dlyan stop riding or change his point of view? Read this book and find out what happens.

Summary: Dlyan's Choice
Review: This is a great book. It's about choosing between two things you love, peer pressure, and horses of course. I really liked it. I was so hapy in the end when- I won't tell you but I do suggest it to any one who likes horses. I also suggest you read the two novels before it. 28# Camp SaddleBrook and 29# Melanie's last ride,~~~~~~~~~Lily

Summary: Great book, a really good reflection on real life
Review: This was a great book because it showed more of a conflict that would actually happen. I love the other books, but really what are the odds that you will have like 10 of those "one in a million horses" like Wonder, Pride, Princess, Glory, Shining, Honor, Star, Image. I could go on and on. It was really a story that you can relate to, I have had like a million friends that you think they like the sames things you do or whatever, but then bam they turn on you like a turn on the forehand! They also did it at just the right age I mean this happens mostly in teenages its not like an eight year old would do that. But its cool how Dylan comes back in the end. Its also true that its really hard to concentrate on more than one sport at a time. I used to horseback ride and do gymnastics (horseback riding more of course) but you really have to choose one sport in the long run. So this is really a good book and targets something that basicly everybody will have to go through at one time or another. Its great they got Dylan back though, because he was a really good character (realistic too, considering at Camp Saddlebrook he totally didn't know how bad Rachel was flirting with him, and all guys do that so it just makes it better.) This is definatly one of the best Thoroughbred books yet! Also, I love the books on eventing! What do all you people have against it? Why can't Christina and Melanie just stay on eventing instead of going to racing? We would all be much happier if Cindy never came back! So this little part of the series about eventing is either the best or best tied with the first ones about Ashleigh and Samantha.
