Summary: Horse Knowledge??
Review: I agree with some of the other reviews.
There is hardly any empathy for any of the characters, especially for one of the main characters at the end of the book. Oh, and horse knowledge? There is no way a Kentucky Derby would end as it did here. I don't want to give it away...but for starters, lets just say a horse does not cross over a finish line..but under a finish wire.
The line of characters was also confusing, but I eventually figured it out.
However if you are like me, a book with horses in it at all keeps me entertained.

Summary: Kentucky Sunrise
Review: I LOVE this series!! If you started with the Texas series, instead of this book, which is the last book in the series, I think you will find that these characters have a lot of depth and you become very involved with their lives. Once I started, I could not put these books down!!

Summary: Excellent Series
Review: I never thought about it but after I read the reviews, I guess someone who hadn't read the entire series might be lost but this is one of the best series of book I have ever read. If you start at the beginning with the Texas series the books are fantastic.

Summary: Won't be reading the rest of the series!
Review: I only bought this book because of the horse racing connection. My guess is that the author has never been to a horse race in her life, much less done any adequate research on training and what it takes to become a jockey. Even for the reader without any knowledge of the horse racing industry, this is a very poorly written book, the ending is something a child would come up with, the characters evoke no emotion whatsoever from the reader, and their development is non-existent.

Summary: Kentucky Sunrise
Review: I picked this book up to read while i stayed at the beach. It was very hard to follow, as i havent read the others, and rather well i dunno kinda boring. i love horses and racing more than anything in the world and it is rather obvious that the author doesnt know much about either subject. It seemed kinda repetitive and something about the story bothered me deeply...but im not sure what. if you want great horse reading buy Seabiscuit by laura H. it is a beatufully written story and interesting to follow!

Summary: Author obvisouly has no experience in horse racing!
Review: I started reading this book way back in August and I've been reading it for over a month and still haven't finished it. This book is trash! A horse just doesn't go to the Derby without prior prep races. They usually have a two year old season and then they have prep races in their three year old season and if they are lucky the horse makes it to the Derby. Another major flaw is that jockeys would NEVER ride their first race in the Derby. Jockeys start out riding at the bottom ranks and work their way up to the bigger stakes races as they improve. I still can't figure out why this author would write on a subject they had no experience.

Summary: Not a Fan of this one!
Review: Kentucky Sunrise follows the families of Kentucky through another run at the Derby. I found the story hard to follow and the characters did not have any depth. There was no empathy for the plight of the family members and tangetial stories that distracted from what I think was the main plot. Defintely would not recommend reading this one unless you're on the beach without anything else in your bag.
Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: No empathy for the characters, no knowledge of horses or horse racing and the book was difficult to follow.
Do not read this book if you love horses or horse racing. It has little to do with any of it and it is very obvious that Fern did not do much research into either.
Rating:
Summary: AWFUL ... don't waste your money
Review: This book is terrible. The characters are scattered and impossible to follow, the plot (what plot?) is horribly scripted, and it's a complete waste of money and time. I'd been considering reading it for some time, and now I'm sorry I spent money on it.If you're looking for a good horse story/mystery read Tami Hoag's DARK HORSE. Tami Hoag KNOWS horses ... she's an avid competitor herself. Fern Michaels obviously knows nothing about horses or horse racing. She'd be better off writing Harlequin Romance novels ... they are short and it would be much less painful.
Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: This is the first Fern Michaels book I've read, just picked it up on a whim. Absolutely no depth to the characters! Very hard to follow. Half way through the book and I don't even care how it ends! The dialogue feels like it was written by a 2nd grader. One star may be one too many!
